It’s a bit like watching a figure skater stumble during the Olympic Games. In that first moment, the fall looks awkward and disappointing. But if you look closer, you notice something else: the way they fall is almost graceful, gliding across the ice, recovering with elegance, and rising again so quickly it feels like the fall itself was part of the performance.
That’s how it is with us. We stumble time and again—through failures, doubts, and weaknesses. And that’s okay. Because it is often in those broken places that God invites us to come to Him, to receive forgiveness, and to begin again.
Forgiveness is never something we can earn. It is the gift of God’s grace, made possible through Jesus Christ on the cross.
When we wonder if our guilt might be too great, we can rest in this truth: we are loved—no matter what. Even when we fall, God extends His hand, lifting us up to continue walking—this time with new confidence and freedom.
So we hold on to His grace and step courageously back “onto the ice.”
The performance goes on—with every step, and with hope alive in our hearts.
“But God demonstrates
His own love for us in this:
His own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners,
Christ died for us”
Christ died for us”
Romans 5:8
