It is evident that we live in a fallen world and that perfection is impossible, but trying our best by the grace of God is honoring and glorifying to our Creator and brings reconciliation to Creation. It’s important, however, that anger and resentment do not stand in the way of compassion and mercy. Shouting and blaming rarely achieve anything.
