1 John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Making Space Part Seven of Twelve: What Will Space Illuminate?

Part Seven of Twelve: What Will Space Illuminate?
 
If we give way to space we may have illumination. And if
that happens we may be forced to see what we do not care to see. We may see the true state of our soul. We may see the reality of our lives. We may see our fallen nature as my son recently said, “I saw my hands and feet bound in chains that I could not break.”

We may be forced to proclaim, that we are prisoners in cells of our own making, bound by chains we ourselves have forged. We will have to declare our utter inability to escape the trap we have sprung upon ourselves. We will have to concede our part in our sob story. We will have to take responsibility for our actions.

And when we do, we will realize that there is no thing we can do to atone for our actions. There is no thing we can do to spring ourselves from the trap.

We are set squarely upon the mercies of God.
