And then I wait for the response...
...and I have never had to wait more than 2 seconds before the wife (or husband if he's there) says; "Us too." And then they tell us their story of failure and hurt. Or how they are still in the midst and it all looks bleak. And how they thought they were the only ones. And their righteous anger of how we've been treated seems to sadly justify their fears of why they'd been keeping this secret. What do we do with this?
Fall Down by Jennifer Knapp
Judge Me Not Ye SaintsFor My History May Be Tainted
But I'm Sober Enough To Know Blood When I See It
I've Borne My Share Of Stones
Most Of Them Easily Thrown
But Who's To Deny
Your Water-Shed Side
Leading Me Home?
CHORUS:
What Am I Supposed To Do About It Now?
Past Regrets And Long Laments, They Find Me Somehow
O, What Am I Supposed To Do About It Now?
What Have I To Do But Fall Down?
To Spy From Far Away
May Seem That I'm One To Betray
But O, How I Try
The Spirit To Guide
The Promise You Made
CHORUS
Hold Me Up
Never Let Me Go
Love Me When I Am Broken
And Speak To Me

I do not understand why it isn't ok for church people to mess up or to sin or to hurt.
I just don't get it either.
I pray for you and for others to know that the only reason we need a savior is because we are wretched sinners, failures in need of grace. All Christians are sinners forgiven by a gracious God by His sons death.
Why some how that is forgotten I do not know.
