Have you ever experienced a failure in life that you thought disqualified you from being loved by God, accepted by God, used by God?  What do you do?  When my own son makes a mistake, when he sins, what do I want him to do?  As his father, what do I desire from my son after he makes a mistake?  1-be honest – talk to me about it, 2-take responsibility to make it right, and then 3-move on, confident in my unchanged love for him, approval of him, and delight in him.
