What would you do? Many asked me to leave it out. However, experience tells me that the client will (always) ask, "Remember that picture you took of me....?" So there is no hiding my fault. Completely embarrassed by my mistake, I wrote to the client to apologise and offered all the pics free of charge...
To my surprise, the client came back telling me all is fine and they would use me for their coming functions. I was, and still am, so completely relieved and thankful. I vow to learn from this experience and never make the same mistake again!
This experience also reminded me of the unmerited favor and love that God has poured out on me (and on you). Fully aware of my weakness and failings, Jesus still went willingly to the cross for me (and for you).
Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrated His own love for us in this, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
"How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
And make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the man upon the cross
My sin upon His shoulder
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom"
