A loving Father

If Thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? (Psalm 130:3)

When you start putting more emphasis on damning the sin than loving the sinner, that’s not a good sign. God does everything possible to love us into His kingdom first.
 What won you to Jesus? Was it seeing your sins exposed one by one and being told you were “a filthy rotten sinner”? Were you belittled and criticized and condemned for all the wrong you had done?
 Or were you told it didn’t matter what you had done; there was a wonderful, loving Father who loved you so much that He was willing to pay any price—the greatest price of all—to make a place by His side for you in heaven, where you could be forever happy and at peace with Him. “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
If people have to be free of their sins before we can love them, who will there be to love? If we start judging people on the basis of their sins, who is going to stand? We’re all hopeless without God’s love and grace, and that’s the only thing that can save us. —M. Fontaine [1]

 It’s not our job to play judge and jury, to determine who is worthy of our kindness and who is not. We just need to be kind, unconditionally and
without ulterior motive, even—or rather, especially—when we’d prefer
not to be. —Josh Radnor
