NO PERSON can escape the Hand of God.
Without His constant care we would cease to exist.
But we remain under His providential Hand in one of two ways. Either we are guided by the “rule of love” or by the “rule of justice.”
The rule of justice is God’s way of guiding our lives when we turn away from Him. He leaves us to experience the imprisonment of sin on account of His great Mercy. It is Mercy in that the ill effects of His justice are imposed so as to call us to repentance.
Those who live under the rule of love are holy souls living repentant lives in the Mercy of God and are freed from the effects of sin. They experience the numerous fruits of the Spirit and act in accord with the holy Will of God.
Which rule do you live by?
