May I be more vulnerable with you than I probably ever have been before publicly? My OCD manifests itself in a particularly humiliating and isolating way for me, I have intrusive thoughts that I might abuse or harm someone. But as I explored the embrace the Compassionate Father offers to both of His children this week, my heart found freedom when I realized the father absorbs the shame of both of his children without so much as a single recriminalizing accusation. I had always imagined that if I publicly embarrassed my Father it would be the final straw. But the Compassionate Father has no final straw. You can shame Him three times over, and still, all He truly longs for is your return.
