Occasionally throughout life our "flesh" (carnal mind) overwhelms us. We think we have "it" (life, our self, take your pick) figured out. We act as if we have it all together, we understand and accept God's grace and then we are surprised by the effect of someone else's actions on us.
How is it that someone else can call into question everything we pride our self in? Oh, that's it, we cannot get away from "priding our self"!! When someone else "makes a mockery" of my heart, its amazing how angry and destructive I can become. None of us are exempt from this, no matter how "spiritual" we become.
many believe that "people are basically good and sometimes do bad things." The bible says (paraphrasing) we are all capable of finding one day the "ugly truth", we are in bondage to the "monster in me". (kind of Romans 7 stuff)
This should be evidence enough that I need a Savior!! Certainly, something worth pondering ....
