What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

Maybe the devil in human beings isn't the reflection of the devil, perhaps the devil is only a reflection of the savagery and brutality of our kind. maybe what we've done is create the devil in our own image
Reflection Devil Brutality
You may remember the story of how the devil and a friend of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket. the friend said to the devil, "what did that man pick up?" "he picked up a piece of the truth," said the devil. "that is a very bad business for you, then," said his friend. "oh, not at all," the devil replied, "i am going to help him organize it."

Kisten, please don't leave me," i begged, and his eyes opened. "i'm cold," he said, fear rising in his blue eyes. i held him tighter. "i'm holding you. it's going to be okay." "tell ivy," he said with a gasp, clenching in on himself. "tell ivy that it wasn't her fault. and tell her that at the end... you remember love. i don't think... we lose our souls... at all. i think god keeps them for us until we... come home. i love you, rachel." "i love you, too, kisten," i sobbed, and as i watched, his eyes, memorizing my face, silvered, and he died.
