“Virtue, even attempted virtue, brings light" indulgence brings fog.”

— C.S. Lewis

Our choice of which path we will go down will define everything else for us. This is the freedom that God has give us: to chose Him or to chose a different way. In this choice lies our accountability. Can God be a Just God while at the same time be a Loving God? Absolutely. Any judgment upon us we have brought. We have asked for. And in my case, I have begged for it through my decisions. Through my sin.

Yet what great mercy and kindness! What great Love there is in our God: that by simply looking to Him he pulled me from the mire of my choices and placed me deep within Himself.

How can I not rejoice?
