Our sins will eventually cause us to encounter the anger of God.
But can I tell you something important?
Before we ever experience His anger, it takes Him a loooooong time to get there—because the Bible tells us He is slow to anger.
That truth alone speaks volumes about His heart toward us.
Even in the midst of our wrongdoings, God does not rush to punish. Instead, He lovingly sends people, places, or situations as warning signs—gentle nudges meant to get our attention. These are opportunities for us to pause, reflect, repent, and surrender whatever it is that’s pulling us away from Him.
But here’s where it gets tricky.
When we reach the point of exposure—when things come to light or we experience public humiliation—pride often steps in and blinds us. Instead of seeing what God was asking us to release, we focus on saving face, protecting our image, or justifying our actions.
And yet… here’s the part we often forget:
GOD STILL RESTORES—EVEN AFTER EXPOSURE. EVEN AFTER HUMILIATION.
The blood of Jesus redeems us completely. Grace covers us fully.
But redemption does not erase consequences.
There are still lessons to be learned. There is still healing to walk through.
It’s like telling a child over and over, “Don’t touch the stove—it’s hot.”
But one day, they touch it anyway… and they get burned.
You can’t magically take away the pain of the burn.
But you can sit with them.
You can talk them through it.
You can reassure them that the pain won’t last forever.
The consequence is real—but so is the care.
And that’s how God deals with us.
He doesn’t abandon us in the aftermath of our choices.
He stays close.
He comforts us.
He heals us.
And He reminds us that this moment does not define our future.
Yes, there may be consequences—but there is also restoration.
Yes, it may hurt for a season—but healing is on the way.
And yes, God is patient, loving, and faithful to finish what He started in you.
You will be fine.
But first… you must walk through it.
