I CAN ONLY SHOW YOU THE DOOR YOU'RE THE ONE THAT HAS TO WALK THROUGH IT

IN THE WORDS OF IVAN KARAMAZOV:

“I have a childlike conviction that the sufferings will be healed and smoothed over, that the whole offensive comedy of human contradictions will disappear like a pitiful mirage, a vile concoction of man's Euclidian mind, feeble and puny as an atom, and that ultimately, at the world's finale, in the moment of eternal harmony, there will occur and be revealed something so precious that it will suffice for all hearts, to allay all indignation, to redeem all human villainy, all bloodshed; it will suffice not only to make forgiveness possible, but also to justify everything that has happened with men — let this , let all of this come true and be revealed…”

Impossible, you say? How can anyone be foolish enough to believe such a thing? Why, you would have to be some kind of idiot to believe such a thing!

Yes. That is exactly the kind of idiot I am!

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.”

(Romans 8:16-21)

Words in an archaic language that practically no one understands anymore. Almost indecipherable…and yet, of the greatest significance!

May it be so! So be it! So be it!

Amen!
