Spiritual pitfalls suck and I still fall once in a while. I feel bad, but thank God he is not like me [an unforgiving melancholic]. He brought me to his word...
"... Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing. For the Lord will not forsake His people, for His great name's sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you His people... Only fear the LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you. But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away..." - 1 Samuel 12:20-25
