Christ is very gentle with those who have sinned and are trying to begin again. He has no tolerance with sin, but is infinitely patient with the sinner. He saves by forgiving. He loves unto the uttermost. His grace is inexhaustible. However often we fail, when we come back and ask to try again, He welcomes us and gives us another chance. This is our hope – if He were not thus gentle with us we should never get home.
