The Fact Itself...

“Look closely, a rotted peach demands first the peach, and there can be no sexual disease without first sex and behind the abused child exists first the child. Like cracks in the Pieta, or the blotch on a banana, these adjectives are secondary, unoriginal after-the-fact intrusions and the fact itself as pure fact, is good.”

The original design of God beneath the layers of hurt, pain and so many disappointments should be both the reason and cause for hope. Who or what is the fact? The fact is God! Despite all of the negative occurrences between your entry and your departure the fact itself is that God is good and His plans for you as a part of His creation are also good!

"Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God, Who is the help of my countenance, and my God." Psalm 42:11
