“To repent is not to look downwards at my own shortcomings but to look upwards at God’s Love for me. It is not to look backwards with self reproach but forward with faith.It is to see not what I have failed to be but what by the grace of Christ I might yet become.” ~Bishop Kallistos Ware
Is what constitutes our primary relationship with God unworthy, sinful being to an All Perfect King? Or, is our primary relationship one of intimacy as beloved child and friend, a partner to a Servant Lover, Father, Mother, Friend ? One whom God puts trust in? The gospels contain the right answer, don’t they ?
Be at peace, the peace of Christ with us even and especially in hard, upsetting times.
