| BkIV:12.V.12 | Deciding you can be different from what God has arranged you to be is an attempt to save something for yourself. It is as if you want to claim something of what you are as exclusively yours rather than given freely from love. This is the fundamental error or sin. Accepting the fact that everything you are is a gift from God and therefore you are holiness personified, is difficult for those who cling to the idea that receiving and giving are different. |
