Blessed are the meth drinkers, Pot sellers, Illusion dwellers O Lord, why have you forsaken me? My words trickle down, like a wound I have no intention to heal.
-Paul Simon from the Simon and Garfunkel album Sounds of Silence
I am becoming aware of the fact that the single most wonderful thing in life very well could be forgiveness and that God gets pleasure out of forgiving us time and time again. And so our failures are little ladders that lead up to maturity, a maturity that consists not of perfection but of being able to humbly accept grace and forgiveness. A maturity where we can say 'I have no intention to heal' but God is becoming the owner of my intentions. Then with borrowed intentions we can truly take to the world a rare, relentless grace that is echoed in our words and mirrored in our actions.
