At this point, we are still social distancing in the Coronavirus outbreak. Dear friend and fellow bookcrosser, josierivers did a drive-by today and dropped off a bag of books for me. This is one she left for me.

"...So maybe our public testimony is based less on our own righteousness and more on the reality of God in our lives. The message that we embody is not 'Look at us! We're perfect!' It's 'See the amazing things God can do in the lives of imperfect people!'
Your life will be a mixture of trial and error, success and failure, thanksgiving and confession. Through it all, the Spirit of God is writing His grace on your heart. Yes, your behavior matters. You always want to live in a way that pleases and praises Him. But your mistakes, when they happen, do not invalidate the message. They just allow you to flip to the chapter on forgiveness.
Many of us try to hide from God when we mess up, and we hide our sins from others. But the gospel of grace is a message of honesty and redemption. It is not based on our perfection but on His love."

The above devotional seemed to be speaking right to me. I will be sending this to another bookcrosser.
