My godfather is always telling me how much he adores my innocence. It delights me to hear such kind words through his mouth with love but I can't help myself but be humour to these unrealistic ideals my godfather has.
I've once told him that I am drench with sin yet he insists that innocence can be renew, even with all the guilt settled in the very depts of my heart itself. I can implant the goodness needed in my heart and even the very core of my mind, maybe then I be "good" again, but can it really restore the innocence that I have lost over my course of life?
Can innocence really be renew? If so, how?
Alas, sinful nation,
People weighed down with iniquity,
Offspring of evildoers,
Sons who act corruptly!
They have abandoned the LORD,
They have despised the Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away from Him.
Where will you be stricken again,
As you continue in your rebellion?
The whole head is sick
And the whole heart is faint.
From the sole of the foot even to the head
There is nothing sound in it,
Only bruises, welts and raw wounds,
Not pressed out or bandaged,
Nor softened with oil.
“Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the LORD,
“Though your sins are as scarlet,
They will be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They will be like wool.
“If you consent and obey,
You will eat the best of the land;
“But if you refuse and rebel,
You will be devoured by the sword.”
Truly, the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
~Isaiah 1:4-6,18-20
Some people look at a half cup of water and say it’s half empty, while another look at the same cup of water, and calls it half full.Throw in some religion to a discussion, and a one becomes a two,while the two becomes a one. Add a little politics to the discussion, and we will be back to the world as we know it to be, confused.We will be right back, where the right becomes wrong, and the wrong becomes right.Let us not bring drums and bands to answer a simple question.For if I told you that Within the Yin their is Yang, and within the Yang their is Yin, you would allwithout a doubt believe me, and I shall have a free hand converting everyone towards my point of view,just as easily as a dogs’ owner drags the dog on a lease, from one point towards another.
Sometimes the unrealistic is acturally realistic, and the realistic is acturally unrealistic.You yourself waking up and saying that you are “drench with sin…with guilt settled in the very depts of your heart “. This is called an awakening.To have reach this point in life ,you do not need to “restore the innocence” that you have lost over the course of your life, because that innocence has never left you. You are beyond the point of renewing innocence.Acturally you should be not far from grabbing the prize.It’s a matter of regonizing the truth,if and when it appears.
Whomever your godfather may be,by your writting of him, I can be sure of one thing. He loves you!
