It's difficult to determine who wins in the end...the sinner or the saint?
I question whether the sinner really does have more fun?
Quite possibly on the surface they do, but what lies beneath?
What lurks in their inner soul?
Are they filled with stress and dismay?
Do they realize the ramifications of their own actions?
Or......do they simply go about their day to day knowing that in the end they will be forgiven?
So often people sin with the thought that in the end their God will forgive them. It is, after-all, what we have to believe because if we didn't none of us would be going to heaven. Right? There couldn't be a higher power unless we believed some sort of version of this.
What's come to my attention as of lately is that when a person tries to do the saintly thing, or at least what you'd think a saint would do, that somehow the sinner can still prevail.
Where is the God in that?
And why can't the sinner come to grips with the saint?
To have a mutual understanding if you may.....a sort of truce?
To move forward leaving past anger and hurts behind?
Is it possible that the sinner has so convinced themselves that the saint is to blame?
That the sinners are really the saints and the saints are the sinners?
Reversing the roles in their minds in order to avoid their shame or to get past the thought that their God might not accept their actions or words?
If this is true, then no one can move forward....grow.
No one can forgive.
It's sad really.
