I am surprised that at times I assume that other people are sinless. I expect my roommates to keep the house spotless. I expect my friends to keep their dates with me. I expect a lot from my poor sweet boyfriend. Too often I forget that "God uses sinners--there is no one else to use." 1
So, He must use us. We are His means. All of us are sinners and all of us are used. I guess that�s a good argument for not putting anyone upon a pedestal. All have fallen short of the glory of God. There�s no one who does what is right and never sins. Even our loved ones.
Boy, am I ready for children? Eek! What a challenge they will be! "What? Little Johnny�s a sinner! My Johnny? Ha!"
May God have mercy on me, a sinner.
