As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly. ( Proverbs 26:11) It is true fools repeat their mistakes, fools continues to sin over and over again. That's not new to us, that's not "headline news" What strikes me is that the image of a dog returning to its vomit, eating it all up again makes us feel bad, makes us feel sick. God might have the same feeling seeing us going back doing it all over again. Sinning, making the same old bad mistakes over and over again. It hurt God, as our father. Still God loves us, still God helps us,still God cares for us . Isn't that amazing!?
Living in a city as I am, in Malmo, Sweden, it feels natural to talk about bridges.In the year 2000 we got a bridge over the Sound to Copenhagen, Denmark. A bridge between two nations once fighting each other, now connected.We need to continue to build bridges, between different cultures, ideas, people etc. These bridges are harder to build but necessary in the society we have today.We need these bridges in order to reach people with the "Good news"
