"The Bible is not the record of people following the rules and grabbing a blessing. The Bible is a record of grace breaking into people's lives, usually in the form of suffering, who otherwise would have never been able to overcome their own corruption and brokeness."
- Tim Keller
The incident that happened has opened my eyes wide, and I don't think I would've realized that my understanding of the Gospel hasn't completely changed my heart. Lifetime process, perhaps. However, it made me realize how little I knew it in my heart. Though it sucks like crazy, and couldn't see the purpose of it when it was still fresh, I can see how much it humbles me. Seriously.
Damn.
