The Halfness

I thought I understood it, that I could grasp it. But I didn’t, not really. only the glimpseness of it, the pink slippered all-containered semi precious eagerness of it. Don’t know, didn’t know about grace abounding the smudgness of me. the goriness of me. I was halfed in half by halves. Didn’t realize it would sometimes be more whole, that the wholeness was rather an all fulfilling reality, because He wholes. Every sunset and smile, in every inexplicable Joy. glory shines through the halfness of me, messness of me. But with Him, I’m no longer half.

alive body is not one that never gets hurt, but one that can to some extent repair itself. in the same way a christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man who is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again after each stumble-because the Christ-like is inside him, repairing him all the time, enabling him to repeat (in some degree) the kind of voluntary death which Christ himself carried out. C.S Lewis
Grace changes us, and change is painful. Flannery O’Conner

Come to me everyone who is carrying a heavy load, I will set that right. Your sins, all of them, are wiped out, I cando that. I am Re-birth, I am life. Eat me, drink me, I am your food. Jesus
The real test of being in the presence of God is, that you either forget about yourself altogether or see yourself as a small, dirty object. But it is better to forget about yourself altogether. C.S. Lewis

We cannot see light, though by light we can see things. Statements about God are extrapolations from the knowledge of other things which the divine illumination enables us to know C.S. Lewis
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the LORD your God,
ince you are precious and honored in my sight,
and because I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you,
nations in exchange for your life.
Isaiah 43
Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My Flesh and heart may fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion. Psalm 73:25-26
