A child reaches for the cookie jar. He knows he’s not supposed to, but he does it anyway … As he stretches he slips. He and the cookie jar come crashing to the ground…
“What happened?” His mother cries as she runs down the hall.
The boy knows he’s in trouble, the jar is broken and the mess is everywhere…
Tears fill his eyes as he drops his head in shame to say… “I’m sorry mommy”
The Mother pushes the mess aside. She takes her boy in her arms… “It’s all right sweetheart,” she says kindly, “Sometimes we have to fall, so love can pick us back up to teach us how not to fall again.”
We need to stop dwelling on what we have done wrong. Instead, we need to dwell on how God’s love is there to pick us up, no matter what we have done, and no matter how many times we’ve done it...
So one day we will never need fall again.
Jacob
