I do not believe that sin is the enemy we often make it out to be, at least not when we recognize it and name it as such. When we see how we have turned away from God, then and only then do we have what we need to begin turning back. Sin is our only hope, the fire alarm that wakes us up to the possibility of true repentance. -- Author Barbara Brown Taylor, "Richard Rohr's Daily Meditation," March 10, 2026
I suspect that the inner meaning of that quote is the insight with which I was gifted way back when; i.e., "wrong" is not the enemy..."wrong" is what turns us around to do "right."
Blinding flash...that gift has been growing me ever since and still is...please and thank You.
When we get stuck in the remorses of our self-described "wrong," we seldom find God's way of accepting that which is gifted us.
My life took me down the dark hole until I gave over, gave up, gave in...surrendered in a word...to come into the anonymous light of God.
My continuing life lesson: Find the good in the bad appearing...there the light of God welcomes.
Thank you.
