“Grace is the only context.”

H,

I keep thinking of all this guilt I carry around over past events and detours. Some of it is unreasonable but I am sure all of it is useless. Grace is the only context that resolves, and surely not guilt.

We have been sold this idea that guilt is the answer and the great harbinger of our conscience. Perhaps, at its best, it may start the process but once it has pulled as away from absolute levity, it becomes more of a wall than a gate.

We must always remember the truth: we are in the midst of our own darkness, the world outside is also full of the dark but within us, the light is growing steadily. Grace reminds us that we are being made whole. This is the way we must always see ourselves.
