A Very interesting and thought provoking piece! I am challenged by the thought of 'indifference' and prefer to think of 'opportunities'. When I reflect on my life prior to salvation, and some of the things that I have done there is definitely a sense of realisation, remorse, regret and an opportunity for repentance. Memories are held by an accompanying emotion, and so are not usually indifferent, but I understand the use of the term in your other examples. Just curious though, I thought that accepting the free gift of sacrifice of Jesus's death on the cross as payment for my sin redeems me? The Holy Spirit alive in those who are redeemed convicts continually of sin, so that we have the ability to grow in our spiritual life and subsequently in our earthly one.
A friend reminded me of "the open-hand ministry" - to hold life loosely, which you've alluded to. It also reminds me of a joke: "Why do angels fly? Because they take themselves lightly!"
"But what about something more complex, like your life?"
DAAAYYYYMMMMNNNN!!!
That's good, sir.
And that's why I ain't brushing my teeth
with either a gun or bleach.
God bless Gretchen Alexandria Poole.
