When we turn to God’s steadfastness, we are also gifted with a faith that says that when we do fall and find ourselves reduced to tears in face of what we’ve wrought, we will be raised from our knees, feel our tears wiped from our faces, and set again on our stumbling way of redemption.

We, as 21st Century Christians living half a world away from the original setting of these stories do well to remember that… and to continue to strive to love God and to love our neighbour, now and ever.

“If there is no room for doubt, there would be no room for me.”
