The Scrum of our Beliefs
Copyright 2017 Don Ray
Inter-human interactions…..
no experience comes closer to knowing God.
No experience can so promptly and radically drive us away
from all that is holy.
We may see God in those interactions if we have already made
God’s acquaintance.
We may in those inter-human interactions see the reason for
hell.
There, in the grip of the handshake or the blow of the fist,
we will feel whatever of God is within us and will sense the Void only God can
fill.
In our interactions with and responses to our fellow
humanity we will experience the breadth of goodness and the depths of
evil.
It is there, there in the interactions with our fellow
children of God, that the questions of the ages will arise and the contradictory
answers will be lost.
There, there
in the confusion and conflict of the scrum of our beliefs, we find our
redemption and salvation in the ample opportunities for compassion and
forgiveness.
Share it.
