I saw a movie where some people sought penance by flogging themselves; they bled profusely but were still unsatisfied, so they continued to flog themselves until they ran out of energy. Of course, it was only a movie, and many people may not understand. It felt crude, as if no one deserved such punishment, regardless of their actions.
However, humans (we) are capable of the unthinkable; deep within everyone, there is a darkness that can only be overcome by the light of God. We occasionally repent of this darkness and begin to seek penance for what we have unleashed.
The unbelievability of what we have done frequently haunts us, and those who have truly repented may embark on a journey to find redemption in every place and way they believe possible. However, if you have never committed humanly irredeemable acts, it is difficult to understand how to alleviate the burden of guilt; it lives in you like a leech to the skin, and some people carry it with them throughout their lives.
I have been coming to terms with a lot of things, and this is the deepest introspection of my life; it is unfortunate that I had to wait for a lot of things to go wrong before realizing the rot in almost every aspect of my life. The most painful lessons come from irreversible mistakes.
When you have to learn when it is too late, the lesson becomes a scar that stays with you; it serves as a reminder of how you could have done it correctly and how you did not. I now live with many scars from various aspects of my life. For a long time, I have been trying to make amends for all of my mistakes, to take the right turn in places where I have previously taken the wrong turn; I know they will not correct my mistakes from the past, but they will provide me with closure.
Seeking redemption is a difficult process, as your guilt is evident in almost everything you do. You are working hard to live righteously, to have a purpose, to define, to add meaning to everything you do, and to strive for improvement. Many people receive the redemption they seek because the mistakes they have made cannot be redeemed, and when I consider myself in this context, I realize that physical redemption has no impact or essence.
Second chances are not available in all aspects of life, particularly when it comes to life or death. When you get it wrong, it is over. We usually only have one chance at life: the people we know, the responsibilities we have, and how well we choose to live, which is why God provides the gift of redemption through the death of His only begotten son, Jesus Christ.
There is nothing like the hunger for redemption.
Many people go to great lengths to obtain the deserved redemption they seek, but it is often futile and never really holds any ground. I know that seeking redemption in physical things will not suffice for me; I have seen it all and already know. However, many people live merry lives and are unfamiliar with the concept of redemption.
Sometimes, people sometimes act without considering the consequences.
Beyond the concept of right and wrong, there are times in our lives when only a spark of Divine Intervention can restore peace and tranquility, and this is where knowing God comes in. Of course, knowing God is not a coping strategy. If you seek God solely for the purpose of solving your problems, you will be frustrated.
For me, knowing God represents a second chance at redemption that is beyond the mental capacity of the average human being. It may be something different for everyone.
However, for everyone who is looking to truly repent and has tried everything but it has not worked, there is a peace that comes with God, and trust me, knowing God will not interfere with your plans of getting rich with cryptocurrency, making money, and living a comfortable life means you have changed, a brand new person from what and who you used to be, the things you did for fun, a different form of passion, and all that.
Of course, I am new to the faith; it does not mean all of my financial issues and complications are magically gone; it means I can still have them and have a renewed hope for my soul; of course, you can as well.
