This evening is one of the times when I wistfully thought how nice it would be if the story could somehow be different. The story can’t be different up until this point though. This is how we have all chosen to write it. You can’t change anything in the past that has happened before this second. Neither can any of those in relationship with you. Some relational bonds you have broken will never be able to be healed. It’s just factual. Time changes. Time heals. But time also simply lets unhealed wounds become infected with gangrene and kill you. Be careful to treat all your wounds with the medicine God prescribes. Otherwise, time will bring gangrene.
God is faithful. I know He will accomplish His good will. There is nothing that I will ever do to stop Him. Praise be to His holy name!
But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!” – The Gospel according to Mark
