God's relationship with man does not work in a way in which man stumbles and then God has to drop what he is doing in order to lift him up rather, man stumbles so that God can lift him up. Hence it is utterly impossible to truly diminish his glory.

When it comes to judging individuals, I do not like remarks such as 'too good to be true.' They speak as though one is rewarding the nature of evil. Yet, ironically, we still wonder where all the good people have gone.

In our worldly perceptions of Jesus, we tend to embrace the kindness of his love ('be encouraged') but not the discipline of his love ('and sin no more'). But with the whole scope of his love, or maturity in Christ, we begin relying on him for guidance where we would prefer him to walk beside us rather than behind us.
