An experience of mine.
There was an instance last October where I engaged in indecent sexual conduct, in spite of telling myself a few days prior that I was a 'changed' man, and that I would therefore hold myself to higher standards - or at least those which aligned with my religious convictions. The morning after - feeling guilty as ever, I might add - I ordered an Uber to drive me back to my apartment. After climbing in, buckling myself up, and us taking off, my driver turned on the radio: Bob Seger's 'Still the Same' came on immediately, and though I was not familiar with either the song or the artist, the chorus caught my attention -
And you're still the same
I caught up with you yesterday
Moving game to game
No one standing in your way
The song itself concerns the narrator's interactions with a gambling addict, and his despondence upon realizing that this character - whom is implied as a former friend - will never change their ways; the lyrics end with the narrator turning away from this individual, as there was ultimately nothing more to be done (with no potential for their relationship to progress).
Anyway, this moment has been with me ever since. Serendipitous encounters such as this have seldom occurred in my twenty two years, but I can't help but feel as if God had tested my professed conviction - a test which I failed not seventy two hours later. I still interpret this particular event as an expression of His disappointment.
