Truth and Consequences
God forgives sin, when we muster the courage to repent, and helps us move on, but he does not usually cancel the consequences of sin. God allows those consequences to take their course, even for believers, for several reasons: 1) to remind us of our potential for sinning, 2) to encourage us to turn from sin and to more constantly depend on God, and 3) to prepare us to face other, even stronger temptations in the future.

Yep that is sooooooo true. Nicki
Thanks for reminding me of this, dear. Part of our love for God must include humility and servitude, as well as facing the consequences of our own actions. I think this point is lost on many, so again, thanks for the reminder.
love ya!
