Do not fear: I am with you; do not be anxious:  I am your God.  I will strengthen you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.   (Isaiah 41:10)

Never be discouraged by your faults.  Even a fall strengthens us if we repent of it, since Jesus brings good out of evil.  Go to him as a fountain of living water, as many times as necessary, picking yourself up each time more humble and each time more overflowing with confident love.

If you make each sin an occasion for you to kiss the wound of his heart, with repentance and confidence, each sin will become a rung in the ladder by which you ascend in love.  From misery to misery we go from mercy to mercy.
