One More Quote About Day
One More Quote About Day
A Quote that comments on a previous controversy--one that I found very comforting in an odd sort of way.
from The Life You Save May Be Your Own p. 444 Paul ElieThere were many for whom she prayed each day, among them various people who had committed suicide. She prayed that those who had taken their own lives would have the grace of final repentance. That her prayers occurred long after the deaths was of no matter, she said. "There is no time with God."
I will not burden you with the personal details that make this so welcome and needed a message. Welcome, needed, and long ignored and resisted. Is it even possible to understand the sheer relentless stubborness of fallen Man?
