"For only his goodwill and his great desire was cause of his falling; and he was unlothful, and as good inwardly as when he stood afore his Lord, ready to do his will. And right thus continually his loving Lord full tenderly beholdeth him."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 51)
Julian saw in the revelation from God that mankind had a good will or nature both before and after the Fall. She could see no fault that would cause man to be blamed. Mankind remained unloathful and inwardly good even after the Fall. So we see that even though humanity sinned or had a fall into delusion and believing lies, the true inner nature of humanity as God's children created in His image and likeness never changed. People remain basically good, just as God made them, it is just that with the effects of death and confusion and temptation and the broken environment in the world, it is very hard to live according to our true nature as God made us. It is like we have a wound or a blindness we cannot heal or an enslavement we can't get free from. But the nature God created us with is still there. He still holds us in His hand and is still present with us. We are still His creations, His children. We still bear the image of God and have worth, dignity, and honor. Our basic natural drive is still to love, to do good, to seek God. Sin has devastating effects, but no sin or evil can destroy the image of God in a person. No sin or evil can destroy a person's basic dignity. No sin or evil can alter or destroy the nature God created us with, which is just part of our makeup and part of who we are as humans. There is still good in people. There is still God in people!
Christ came to rescue the good creation of God, to heal the wound we couldn't heal, to heal our blindness and restore our sight, to bring us back to ourselves and back to experiencing the relationship with our Dad that is our birthright. He came to break the hold of sin, lies, corruption, evil and death. He came to show His very good creation how loved, accepted, beautiful and good they always have been and always are to Him! He reminds us of the flawless inner person we truly are within. He came to show us He doesn't fault or blame us for our falling. He simply rescues us from our falls, lifts us up, binds our wounds and makes us whole and healthy again, hugging us till we believe everything is ok!
"The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because He has anointed Me [the Anointed One, the Messiah] to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity], to proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord [the day when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound].
Luke 4:17-18 (AMPC)
A Prayer: Thank You for assigning no fault or blame to me but instead healing me of all my wounds and bondages!
