As I wrote a few days ago, coming to a deep recognition of humanity’s sinfulness has made me much more forgiving. I am no longer surprised by sin – either my own or anybody else’s.
Here’s another of my growing convictions that likewise makes me more forgiving: All sin is birthed from a legitimate need that takes a wrong turn.
What if, instead of being offended by someone’s sin against us, we considered it a challenge to get to the bottom of what that person really needs?
