while we were unable to help ourselves
at the moment of our need
Christ died for us
although we were living against God
very few people will die to save the life of someone else.
although perhaps for a good person someone might possibly die.
But God shows His great love for us in this way:
Christ died for us while we were still sinners
romans 5: 6-8 [new century version]
i read this version's years ago in a very lovely girl's blog
and today chanced upon it again in the book in the grip of grace
the italics verse 7 makes me imagine.
will i die for someone i feel is 'bad'?
would i go through what the other person is going through ?
sometimes i shake my head and cannot imagine going through that which he/she is experiencing.
maybe that is why silence remains.
i wont ever fully understand that which he/she is undergoing.
because i feel i don't know the full picture.
the parts of his/her heart that i can't see, or unarticulated pain/hurts that are personal.
I guess i understand a bit of why only God is the righteuos judge.
we are not called to be judges or lawyers, but witnesses
seeking to understand instead of demanding to be understood
is difficult.
like the most influential player in eagles team in the show, Facing the giants,
he kept saying it was difficult.
if you want to watch the show, i have the dvd.
i think i know why you gave the dvd to me.
that time i was facing a giant too.
maybe you won't ever hear it, but....thank you.
sorry too for making it so awkward now.
a friend once said it takes her very long to accept how close friends drift away.
she will think of what has she done wrong.
