Probably

 

the biggest thing 

I feel like

people are missing 

about my and honeys saga is this:


God alone justifies.


Romans 8:33-34

Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? 

It is God who justifies. 

(wipes slates clean.)

34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.


And he will do it

with whoever he sees fit,

your thoughts on the matter

do not concern him in the least.


You don't like who God choses?

Take it up with him yourself then

his response will probably 

be something along the lines of:


Job 38:2

“Who is this who darkens counsel

By words without knowledge?


Personally? 

I think God 

thought we all needed 

a lil reminder

that he is God

and he will use 

who he chooses.


And then there is this

and I love it:


Father Andrey Lemeshonok reflects 

on a challenging question: 

Where is the line for a priest’s sinfulness?



"A priest is a man chosen by the lord for divine service.

He does not belong to himself but to God.

He contends with the passions 

that consume each and every one of us.

This is the core of the struggle

to be a vessel 

through whom God acts

while being acutely aware

of your own

profound unworthiness.


Nobody knows any more 

than I/we how

"profoundly unworthy"

we are.


Who could be worthy enough

is my question?


And


"I think God 

thought we all needed 

a lil reminder

that he is God

and he will use 

who he chooses."


is how 

and where 

I find my peace with it.


If you are intent on making it about us?

Then you have already missed

a huge point.
