Falling Toward the Cross

Most of us have had to deal with the disappointment of those we looked up to that have let us down.  Sin can sneak into anyone's life, and the slightest compromise can open the doors for sin to pour in.  In these times, it is important for us to remember that we are all fighting the sinful nature, but when we fall, if we are still moving towards the cross, then we fall towards the cross.  It is much easier to recover from an uphill fall than a downhill fall.  We also need to remember that we need to be quick to forgive, but wise to know when we should trust again.  Don't turn your back on your brothers or sisters; instead, "restore him gently." (Galatians 6:1).  You never know when it may be you that needs an understanding heart.
