Grappling With Divinity

Love is the antidote to sin
the turning away from God
fleeing in one’s own direction
denying the need for help
rejecting His generous gift
love is turning back
running toward one’s creator
admitting one’s own weaknesses
accepting God’s grace and mercy
sin is the abandonment of wholeness
of goodness
togetherness
love is reunion
love is communion
love is eternal union with Christ
~Robert Van Valkenburgh

Reflection:
Where in your life might God be inviting you to turn back—not through fear or shame, but through love that restores wholeness and communion?

Scripture:
“But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8
