About this listen
St. Peter quoted Proverbs 26:11, but he added, “a pig returns to the mud after a bath.” I am amazed how well Bible writers know me. I finally throw up all the bad stuff I gorged on - and like a dog return to it. God finally gets me cleaned up and I jump back in the mud. Jesus sets me free - and I run back into the cell and lock the door.
The world loves “me-based solutions to all our me-based problems.” How long do you think it will be before we figure out we cannot “hate ourselves into a new person we will love?” Before we realize “tearing someone else down doesn’t make us a better person?” Before we get tired of trying to prove we’re worth something? Before we look in the mirror and not worry about what anyone else thinks about us - but see a unique and unreproducible miracle of God.
