Wednesday morning quote…

In working through The Power of Uniqueness I came across this quote that I wanted to share. Miller uses this C.S. Lewis quote in context to the negative ways that we can use our giftedness.

The only way I can make real to myself what theology teaches about the heinousness of sin is to remember that every sin is the distortion of an energy breathed into us - an energy which, if not thus distorted would have blossomed into one of those holy acts whereof “God did it” and “I did it” are both true descriptions. We poison the wine as he decants it into us; murder a melody he would play with us as the Instrument. We caricature the self-portrait he would paint. Hence, all sin - whatever else it is - is sacrilege.
