We see no relationship, in our addictive blindness, between our persistent choices and our consistent consequences. We swim in the river of denial cursing the God of heaven rather than changing our course to float with the flow of grace. How odd.
" ... People gnawed their tongues in anguish and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores. They did not repent of their deeds."
- Revelation 16:10-11 (ESV)
