What happens when people don't become who we want them to be? That question you asked is haunting. I have certainly felt like a Judas in my life when I have not spoken up when things were wrong; when I took the easy road and denied someone the loyalty they deserved. Our God is forgiving, but I need to not make the same mistakes when I have received forgiveness.
Yep and so interesting that Judas could not forgive himself - we all have that critical voice also within us where we give ourselves such a hard time. Judas could not imagine the love of God forgiving him, so he took his life, so we need to allow our lives to be surrounded in the love of God not our own sense of what is right and wrong.
