For a Sinner


"If only the sinner knew that all his trespasses,transgressions and infirmities were but the point of God's compassion,pardon and forgiveness,and that however great and atrocious they might be,they could never repel God's heart,extinguish His mercy,or fetter His love even for a single moment.If only the sinner knew this,he would never cling to his sin or seek isolation from God as a veil to cover his shame from seeing the face of Christ,who is trying to show love toward him and who is calling them!"
(from The Communion of Love by Matthew the Poor).
Too many of us underestimate the degree and intensity of His love for us.
