Jesus said,
" Has no one condemned you?"
She said."No one, Sir, she replied".
"Neither do I condemn you",
said Jesus. "Go away and don't
sin any more."
As I suffered for the sins of all
who have ever lived or ever shall,
and suffer in the alienation from
the Father which persistent, unconfessed
sin causes, so do I look to My beloved,
faithful followers to identify with
me in retrieving those who are so
afflicted. .All fall short of the
perfection to which they are called
and those who are closest to that
perfection are most aware of that
which separates them from the holiness
of their Heavenly Father. So they
seek, in and through My saving love,
the forgiveness and perfection as
they are shown.
And as they are not condemned as
they make their way through difficulties
and the inevitable failures of growth
in holiness, so must they shun all
contrary reaction to the sins and
failures of others. The love which
calls and sustains and retrieves
them seeks to work in and through
them to call and retrieve and sustain
others in the way. All must be done
and said in love and for the building
up of those who fall along the way.
To condemn is unproductive for all
involved. Love is strong and life-giving.
To those who love the wrong-doer
will be given the means of helping
him to find the way, for I am the
Who seeks to retrieve him.
