In the course of this one evening I have pointed to God’s glory,
hopefully being used as a conduit through which Divine understanding was channeled;
AND in the span of the next hour I shamed the same God by my own prideful and
boorish behavior. I am deeply convicted
by that knowledge. And that is where
today’s confession comes from.
In a moment that I thought was just excited and passionate
guiding to stretch and challenge members of one congregation, I have to confess
that what I did was frustrate and alienate a person who is dearly important to
me; and more importantly who is infinitely important to God.
