Alright folks, this is going to be a different sort of blog. I am listening to a song that aptly describes my mood, and I am going to attempt to write to it for a few minutes. Before you read any farther, PLEASE YOUTUBE WASHING OF THE WATER BY PETER GABRIEL
I believe that there is one common denominator in my suffering, and that is me. Yes, some things that happened to me in my life were not my fault, but that does not excuse me for my transgressions. The bigger question is what do I do with the shame, guilt, and fear. Neither of these three feelings are inherently bad, but they don't leave much room for grace. I think, as a christian, I spend way too much time bargaining for grace and not enough time relying on God to cover my sins in his unconditional love. I do not know where I would be if it weren't for the sacrifice of Jesus. Thank God for a gentler path, though it may be the road less traveled.
