8Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8)
This morning I had the U2 song "Moment of Surrender" in my head. It is a beautiful song that gets at one of the points I was trying to make in my Sunday sermon. We can't worry about other people in our pursuit of Christ.*
But the idea of a a "moment of surrender" is also powerful. We can only get out of the "black holes" that we fall into with a moment of surrender where we admit God's power. And like the song says, these moments of surrender happen at unpredictable strange times. Some times they happen daily. Some times they take longer. But they have to happen.
*I recently read an article that didn't like the idea of 'finding Jesus.' The idea was that Jesus was, is, and will forever be a constant. I don't know what I exactly think about this idea and line of reasoning. I do think that Christianity is both a struggle and a pleasure. I don't think that denying the struggles or forgetting the pleasures is an appropriate Christian strategy.
