Not Condemned

"She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." John 8:11
As we journey through this thing called life we are going to make mistakes along the road. We will have ups and downs and slips and falls as we journey.

"Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?" Isaiah 43:19 (ESV)

"He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord." Psalm 112:7 (ESV)
Good things happen to bad people, and unfortunately bad things happen to good people. Things can spring up on us out of nowhere, and before we know it we are in a struggle. The sun can be shinning in our lives one minute, and it can be pouring down rain the next. Life has its way of giving us twist and turns, and it can be a fearful thing when you are not expecting the next turn. No one wants to receive bad news, and with the evolution of technology we can receive news faster than ever before. When bad news is received it can put an immediate damper on whatever it is going on in our lives.
