Seriously, it would be beyond ugly. And I&rsquo;m not talking about the cosmic perspective of, you know, not even being born if He hadn&rsquo;t made me, or that if He would withdraw his breath my heart would stop beating. Though that&rsquo;s also true. No, I&rsquo;m talking about how endlessly dependent on His presence, nearness, counsel, Word and <em>relational affection</em> I really am. Like one of my best friends said in a vulnerable moment the other day: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m the blind guy calling for mercy, I&rsquo;m the poor widow begging for bread, I&rsquo;m the one not daring even to lift his eyes towards heaven and the lame man needing healing to walk upright.&rdquo; FYI, I am too. Gone are the days when I forgot who He is to me and I thought I had anything to offer on my own. At least I hope, by the grace of God, that those days are truly gone. They are the worst, for both me and the world around me. I told my friend to remind me, should I ever forget.</p>
