[...] thought about Peter a lot over the past few months. Partly inspired by Jon Acuff’s “comma of grace,” my thoughts have turned toward Peter’s Big Failure. The denial isn’t the part [...]

I've re-read this post a lot the past couple of days, and it still has the power to move me. Accepting God's grace is not something that's coming easily to me. Sometimes the message needs to be pounded into my head, it seems.

God Bless You, hon. I just lived the year you had but am on the other side a teeny bit. Dad died August 27th but we had 9 months to love on him, share stories, and say goodbye… NOTHING makes this next year for you easy but I can say that if you allow yourself the luxury of looking past the "moment", God will give you some cherished memories that you will pull from for the rest of your days…
Hang in there… it will be tough going but God's grace will carry you… I am living proof!

FooteNotes Http://billfoote.wordpress.com I've read this multiple times over the last few days and it keeps touching me very deeply. This is the kind of grace drenched message so many in the church needs to hear. In fact, I read it in its entirety during my sermon last Sunday. Thank you again for an article that has turned out to be a great gift to me and to so many others.

“And when you have turned back, don’t think for a second you’re qualified to tell other people about me.”

I've been telling myself this for a long time. Telling myself "you screwed up again. There goes your good Christian witness. Say goodbye to pointing that one to Christ." Its discouraging, to say the least.

Now I just have to choose to believe in His promises. Trust that He really means what He says. That there is no "go purify yourself and then we'll talk about forgiveness." It is "Come unto me, all who who are weak and heavy-laden and I will give you rest…"

Praise God that He is a Father who is in complete denial over the failures of His children!

Thank you so much for this Jon, I needed to read this today.

I think he alluded to that about "porn" or is that just a general example?
