grace is not fair

"TO LOVE A PERSON means to see him as God intended him to be."

- Fyodor Dostoevsky



Someone from cg shared about his struggle with homosexuality and how God had freed him of this bondage. As I sat there listening to him, I couldn't help but go "Wow.." (in my head) at his courage to speak openly about it to us. He then went on to share of the amazing grace he received from the pastors and counselors he spoke to.

Think about it, how many people have you come across that have actually shared with you about their struggles with such sins; sexual bondages? It is a very difficult thing to do. The majority would definitely prefer to remain anonymous and lead a double 'hush-hush' life than cough it up and confess it because it is more painless. No one enjoys being judged, rejected and mocked at.

Thing is, I'm so honoured to be part of a cell group that is real, no facades. To allow others to see that we are far from perfect, that we face similar problems or issues in life which, would be too embarrassing to talk about in our 'everyday setting'. It made me feel that I too can be open and transparent about my life and to know that the people there will not judge me but instead would help me with my struggles. And at the end of it all, to know that God'll lavishly shower His grace and mercies upon me.
