" But you have mercy on all, because you can do all things; and you overlook people's sins that they may repent....But you spare all things, because they are yours, O LORD and lover of souls, for your imperishable spirit is in all things! Therefore you rebuke offenders little by little, warn them and remind them of the sins they are committing, that they may abandon their wickedness and believe in you, O LORD!" - Wisdom 11:23 and 26, 12:2
Today I'm thankful that (divine) mercy always trumps karma, I would be totally screwed otherwise. Knowing what I know about myself, if the cosmos really has the ability to bounce back what we give..umm, yikes! I am so very thankful that the Lord's mercy is generous and unfailing. How often have I fallen only to be rewarded a chance for a re-do? I do not have enough digits on both hands and feet to keep count.
And what I find somewhat perplexing about those who believe in karma is that it is almost always directed upon someone to whom they have a grudge to bear. So then if karma is true aren't they then fearful that the ill-will they hold upon another might come back to them?
Day 3 down, 27 more to go!
