This was a friends recent update on Facebook:
Frank Shelton I went to visit a friend in prison yesterday & I was thinking as I walked in all of us are one wrong decision from being in a similar place. I have learned to judge less and try to resemble Jesus MORE.
How true it is that we often become prideful of who we think we are, and forget the truth that we are sinners. It is easy for us to look at others and say, "I can't believe they did that." But is it so difficult to believe when faced with a moral decision that someone would choose wrongly? Before you answer have you sinned this week, yesterday, today? I am not making excuses for those who must face criminal justice, because there are consequences for our actions, but as my friend realized yesterday, "But by the grace of God there go I." In more modern terms, "If not for God's grace that would be me."
