Throughout the course, I had an increased revelation about our sin nature as human beings. Somehow, I had previously believed that we were all born good and when we exhibited bad behaviour it was coming from somewhere broken, but it isn’t who we really are. We are good. Made in God’s image. Throughout my counselling journey with Andrew, and consolidated a LOT in the course, I realised that we are born sinful. And we are completely incapable of any 100% pure good. There will always be a shadow of sin – even if we are blind to it – until heaven. Therefore – sin is not quite so confronting. If you are sinful and I am sinful – and completely depraved – then it’s not so shocking when we do see it. We can expect to find it around every corner. Something about this revelation has brought me great comfort – because I used to be so shocked by people’s sin – or the sin that had been committed against them – that I had no framework to deal with it. I am now far less shocked or worried about seeing people’s sin.
