From my Facebook 7.01.10
C.S. Lewis in "The Great Divorce" has a soul in Limbo saying "I just want what's due me. I always paid my own way. I don't ask for no Bleedin' Charity."
The Heavenly spirit sent to help him challenges that "Then do so- ask for the Bleeding Charity."...
We're the same way. Fair's fair. Just give us what we deserve. We'll pay our own way.
Until we make the one mistake- an error, a crime, a sin- that can't be repaired. The hurt is too deep. The damage too permanent. The fine too large.
And we're driven to our knees- to beg for the Bleeding Charity of Mount Calvary. That is when we realize that Karma can do for a while but it must inevitably step aside for Grace if one is to avoid utter damnation.
