"No one has ever fallen so grievously that he may not rise again. Conversely, no one stands so firmly that he may not fall. If Peter (and Paul and Barnabas) fell, I too may fall. If they rose again, I too may rise again." - Martin Luther.
These humbling words from Martin Luther remind me of two valuable lessons:
1. No one is exempt from trials and testing.
2. When we fall, we must know that God's grace can raise us to life again.
Lamentations 3:31-33 - "For no one is cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone.
Living in Grace
