When one strives to be holy and pleasing to God, she finds herself frequently in the confession box asking for God's forgiveness. It just as we sin because of our weaknesses that we also become more aware of all the other dark parts of our selves—like gluttony, greed, and sloth expressed through binge eating/voracious cravings, excessive shopping/materialism, and dilly dallying, respectively.
And just as we sin many times, we find ourselves forgiven more.
God why are you so merciful?
***
Filled with grace, I looked at the distant buildings ligned by fiery orange lights and felt peace and forgoveness. One day I'll get to tell him that I am grateful that he never chose me.
