STOP AND THINK – Character is much easier kept than recovered. (Thomas Paine)
We all stumble from time to time. It’s important that we forgive those who stumble and try to get back up. When the fall is because of moral or ethical failure, it is much more difficult to regain trust. We must be on our guard to maintain the highest standards of personal conduct. That’s easier than trying to regain the confidence of others after a fall.
If someone is caught in a [fall], you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. (Galatians 6:1)
