Embrace the Sinner Before You

PODCAST SCRIPT:


Sometimes it’s hard to express love.  When a teen breaks your trust… when she does the thing you’ve always told her not to do… it’s never easy to give a forgiving embrace.


I’m very quick to acknowledge that parenting can bring some of the lowest lows of life.  Sometimes it feels utterly impossible to forgive after a child has broken your heart.  Especially an out of control teen!


But in that moment… the moment when you feel least able to move toward the person who hurt you… ask God to give you His grace.  It’s only with the love of God that we can love our kids in the darkest moment.


Are you ready to embrace the sinner before you?  Do it by the grace and strength of God!
