Sin Apprehension

Written : 16 April 2009

Occurrence transform depending on how we exist. Obstacles change depending on how we take them. And life varies depending on how we choose to live.

God made everyone equal in his own way and understanding. And he basically created us whole. With heart not only to feel the pain but happiness as well, and with mind to decide whatever we think is the rightest thing to do with what he has given us.
Maybe one argument in the idea of God giving us almost everything is, we scarcely know how to take “good” use of them. I specifically applied the word “good” instead of “best” to come up with the thought that he never demanded us to give our best. Because for him, “good” seems to be always enough. Already a superlative. Excellent in a manner. But how are we to know if we are using God’s gifts to us purposely, and in a “good” way?

First, it must be something from the heart. A decision made up merely by brain is more likely to cracked up and turned out to be gibberish. So cerebral and logically-based… He has made “heart” the last thing to stop before we die, so we can decide things properly, serving its purpose as having the final say in everything. Secondly, it should hurt no one. Or if ever there’s any who’ll be inevitable to be harmed, it should be unintended. Shallow wounds are still wounds but easier to heal than a wound deliberately done. They heal for years,and sometimes, take forever…

What’s the bottom line of all these?

Just one thing…

Think it over before doing something. God created us complete despite the fact that he expects less because humans are permissible sinners. He knows we can take hold every minute and praise and thank him all our lives but can never be enough unless you’ve proven your spotless purpose in anything you do. Because at the end of it all, your game will be determined with how you played it. Your crimes, by how you premeditatively did it. And if in everything you do, hurting other people is unavoidable, at the very least, be very hesitant to do so.

One wrong step can change someone else’s life in an instance. Or maybe your own. It will just be too fortunate if what we’ve decided for to take is worth all the possible sinning we can commit in the process…
