It's hard some days. You don't expect it, as a matter of course.
But, suddenly, there it is, affronting you in the most vile ways imaginable. Ignorance, selfishness, apathy, ingenuiness, lust, greed, and on and on and on and on.
Do I yell? Do I scream? Do I let my rage fill my veins as rain fills a cloud? Can I thunder? Can I storm? May I obliterate insignificant beings with the sheer force of my lightning strike of a wit?
Internal dilemma tears chasms in my heart as magnificent and intruiging as the Grand Canyon.
Stony-faced and determined, I brush past the throng, in the best of my abilities restraining a piercing glare.
After all, who am I but a murdering, stealing, ignorant wretch? All sin is equal. I am redeemed only through the most wonderful display of grace and mercy mankind will ever know. And so I must approach my brothers and sisters with grace, as He has approached me.
...Let's be real, though, I still want to kick, scream, lecture and rampage. But I will trust God to correct all of us in time and to humble me to be able to speak in grace and wisdom in the future.
Here's Hoping!
