Sin happens when I’m in too big of a hurry and cut a corner. Or when I mindlessly take my focus off Jesus."<br /><br />Lisa, that is very well said.<br /><br />Without my consent! Ouch. The truth hurts. But you end with the remedy; There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us. Thank God for that gospel truth.<br /><br />JudeJude St.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04625638135630628734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-18590053736307909352010-04-22T09:21:28.544-05:002010-04-22T09:21:28.544-05:00Dear Lisa,

I'm really benefiting from this round of "Reading Classics Together."<br /><br />The thought that Christ wounds us then heals us is so beautiful to me. It is Christ who we know our sin disappoints and angers, yet it is also Christ who comes to us just at that point of need and meets our sorrow with forgiveness, comfort, and strength.<br /><br />I've enjoyed clicking around your site. Keep up the great work.Deek Dubberlyhttp://deekdubberly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-91507834716077098672010-04-22T09:11:05.044-05:002010-04-22T09:11:05.044-05:00I truly was stunned with your wording: It's an...I truly was stunned with your wording: It's an inside job. Wow, do I need that reminder and often. When the world around and even so many Christians would want us to think none of this "bruising" is our fault – it's that darn bedpost's fault, after all – I (we) need to be told: "from out of the heart..." Enjoyed reading your thoughts on Sibbes.

Glad to be in the same circle with you. <br /><br />Hope you'll enjoy The Bruised Reed as much as I am. So far it's been a profitable read.Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-6545869852672996042010-04-22T08:04:09.328-05:002010-04-22T08:04:09.328-05:00Lisa, I first want to tell you how much I enjoy wh...Lisa, I first want to tell you how much I enjoy what I've found here on your blog. I've spent some time here this morning looking over some of your other posts and I've enjoyed my visit SO much. <br /><br />I also wanted to thank you for stopping by yesterday to visit with me. I know we have Holy Experience as common ground, but I'm also grateful that we are sisters in Christ. He supplies a network of Believers for us that we can both encourage others and also that we can be encouraged. Your comments yesterday definitely encouraged my heart. <br /><br />I'm adding your blog to my list so that I don't miss any of the good stuff here! Today's post has encouraged me to obtain The Bruised Reed for my own reading!Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916346102440260126noreply@blogger.com
