“Surely then you will count my steps but not keep track of my sin. My offenses will be sealed up in a bag; you will cover over my sin.” – Job 14:16-17
Providence Rhode Island Municipal Court Judge Frank Caprio is known for his compassionate verdicts. Once the 80-year-old municipal judge heard a case against Andrea Rogers. She had traffic tickets that totaled more than $400. She sobbed as she told the judge she was having a tough time. Her son was murdered the previous year and Social Security had lowered her check amount because he was no longer her dependent.
Andrea accumulated the tickets while being evicted from her apartment and taking care of her son’s affairs after his death.
After hearing her horrific story, the judge reduced her fines to $50. When Andrea admitted that would leave her with just $5, Judge Caprio changed his verdict on the spot and he dismissed all of her tickets.
We have a Heavenly Father who has compensated for all of our sins through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Today in prayer, praise the Lord for covering your sins and live today for Christ's glory.
