For human beings, who live in time, who have experienced sin, who - if we’re trying to be holy - live in a state of constant repair, the being and doing thing feels a lot more complicated. But what if, for us, the relationship between being and acting, between what we are and what we do - indeed, even between what we are and who we are, could be simpler? Perhaps it won’t necessarily be easier to achieve, but perhaps it could be more easily understood? Could conversion feel just a little easier then?

Could our relationship with ourselves and with God be deeper, kinder, more peaceful?
