I was amazed at how things happen. I knew then as I know now that I was in the hands of a Father who loves me, who always looks out for my welfare as I, foolish and insistent, keep digging myself new holes that He has to get me out of. Now that was the wind-up and the pitch. And if you missed it, though I don't see how, I'll say it in another way, more bluntly. We are foolish brats always desiring one thing and another, our life revolving around each new desire, our supposed happiness depending upon its satisfaction.
Freedom means freedom from being stuck on anything.
Furthermore, left to our own devices and the enticing ways of the world around us, we wouldn't have a chance in a billion of finding what we really came for without God's Grace that keeps trying to reach us when we least expect it. He is, after all, the All in All. I've said it again.
