Message to Tiger Woods

My heart goes out to you and your family. If you meant what you said in your statement, then I think there's a lot of hope for all of you. I say this b/c sometimes we say the thing that is expected of us, but not because we believe it. But if you do really believe in the values that you say you felt short of, then, with God's help, and your strong resolve and honest humility, you and your family can get through this intact. No one is perfect. It won't be easy, but you can come out of this a better person. I really believe that. Hope to see you and your wife together smiling again. Know that we are all frail and need God's help to stay on the right path. Most of all, I hope you allow yourself to be reached by the living God through all of this. I wish you the best. You give sports fans in this country a lot to cheer about. May you know His Peace in the middle of the storm. May true Repentance lead to true Forgiveness and Reconciliation. May Joy return to your family. I know you are also beloved son as well as a husband and father, and that you've let your parents down. But I imagine even your own dear mom didn't perceive you as perfect before all this came out. There has only been one perfect Son who got it all right. May you hear His Call. He can bear your shame and your guilt. He can give you what this world can never give, and what you and your family, and all families, so desperately need.
