However many times Israel messed up, they kept coming back. They kept coming back and God was always there to take them back. The question is not how many times you mess up. It is how many times are you willing to get back up. You're not good enough to mess up to the point that God's not able to fix this. -Dr. Kerry Muhlestein
"...there should never be just two options, perfection or give-up. Growth and development takes time; learning takes time. When we understand grace, we understand that God is long-suffering. Change is a process. Repentance is a pattern in our lives. When we understand grace, we understand that the blessings of Christ's Atonement are continuous and His strength is perfect in our weakness. Continue in patience until we are perfected." -Brad Wilcox
