He’s more than what he’s done. He’s so much more than the mistakes he’s made. He’s the very breath of God—so very acceptable. And when I look at him like that, his real identity emerges. This doesn’t deny the issues we both still need to work on. But it does shift the foundation from shame to the hope we have in Christ. The affair, while it is a reality, is not his true identity. He’s a child of God whom I can forgive. I let this sit on me, and it started to soften my heart more and more.
