In Others’ Words: Filling Voids

Some truths are more harsh than others.

Some people avoid the word “sin.” They consider it outdated. Old-fashioned. We don’t sin anymore. We make mistakes. Get tripped up. Commit an error.

But I prefer to call a sin a sin because it reminds me that my wrong action has wounded my soul — and possibly someone else’s soul, too.

I want to remember that I’m a spiritual being having a human experience. (With a nod to French Philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin for that thought.) The ongoing battle? To not let my wants and desires rule the day — rule me — and to acknowledge who I am and Whose I am.  To choose strength, not weakness. To step away from the void and onto the firm ground of truth.

In Your Words: What one thing helps you walk away from voids, resist sin, and remember that you are a spiritual person having a human experience?
