Revelation

So often revelation brings excitement and joy. Yet, right now it has brought hurt. I know the rejection I feel is far less than the hurt I cause the heart of the Father and He continues to love me beyond what I can comprehend. I know I must walk forward in love and extend grace and mercy no matter how often I am hurt again. I am reminded in this how our sin not only affects our own lives but the lives of the people around us. So often I think when I sin it will only affect me, but it doesn't it hurts the people in our lives too. How great the Love the Lord has lavished on us that we should be called His Friends!
