4000 years ago Abraham and Sarah were unable to have a baby, Sarah didn't want Abraham to be without child so she gave him her maidservant so he would have an heir. This one act of adultery brought us Islam. We are beginning to see the full implications of what that SIN caused. It has not come to full light because we in America do not see all of what it brings.
It is impossible for us to witness the full implication of our own sin but we can see through scripture an example of the ripple effect. As Adam and Eve's sin of eating the forbidden fruit brought upon all of the destruction that has preceded us. We also create these ripples in our lives and that of our children and grand children. Consider your actions!
I've seen in my own time how families are destroyed because someone went astray. It didn't end when they remarried and found new hope because they were not capable of truly forgiving themselves and that pain separated them from they're own sons and daughters brothers and sisters.
Give yourselves completely to Jesus and in time through healing you may find true forgiveness. Even for yourself!
