Woe to those who protect wolves: will we fight to discern between mercy and deception?

This is a merciful generation: one that hears the silent wounded and sacrifices toward their healing. Yet such a generation must be cautious--Satan will seek to use our mercy against us.

Sometimes it's extemely difficult to distinguish between a healing sheep and a patient wolf. But by nature, wolves are carnivores. Eventually they show their teeth. Unfortunately, if we have protected them in the name of misled mercy, their teeth may bare in a position of influence that wounds more than we could have imagined.

Wholeness is a process. We stumble, pause, get up, take a another step, fall, weep from discouragement, take an offered helping hand, get up, stumble again...But the goal is clear: we are moving toward God. Pilgrims ask for forgiveness in the journey.
