When you are beginning to be scrupulous again, remember what sin is really all about. Sin is not a technicality. Sin is not a transgression against a whimsical rule set by a tyrant. Sin is something that violates our nature to love. Sin is something we do that creates a wound not only upon the soul of the one we transgress but also and more so upon our own soul. When we sin like that, let us ask for help from Him who has redeemed us by His wounds of love. Let us ask for forgiveness, and then let us trust Him to be who He is- a compassionate, just and merciful God.
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
