The humility of our God adapts Himself to each of our personalities, fears, and quirks without minding or scolding us. The gentle prodding of the Holy Spirit--the Teacher--guides us in the ways of God. He is able to retrieve, restore, and replenish all that has been spoiled or wasted by us, even the damage caused by our sins and selfishness.
Bishop Fulton J. Sheen once told the story of a musician whose one wrong note ruined a whole symphony performance. That wrong note cannot be taken back; it
will exist forever in the universe.
But God, said Sheen, the Great Composer and Conductor, is able to take that wrong note and make it the overture to a whole new symphony. What we ruined, in the hands of God, can become a note of hope for another generation.
As nature covers over the scars of a devastating hurricane or fire, as Christ came back from a horrible death, so too can our lives grow new sprouts from deadly experiences, if we can but welcome the great Teacher of our souls.
