for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
When someone close to us is struggling with sin what do we do? Well, first we pray. We ask God to fix the situation. But then what do we do? How do we cope? What do we say to them? Lectures and judgement probably won't do much to help. God shows "kindness, forbearance and patience" (2:4). To help us in our frustration and to help them, we can remind them and ourselves of the above verse. I am a sinner, you are a sinner. We are all equal at the foot of the cross.
Lord, thank you for loving us even though we have all sinned. Please help us to offer kindness, forbearance and patience, just as you do. Amen.
