Maybe you didn't know...

but I am thinking of composing a new song. I was reflecting upon what it would be like to live a day in which I could see no sin. How beautiful it would be to live in the day without sin, and to see with the eyes of God how things might be, and what love would be present. No one hurting another, no callousness, no pain, only kindness, chairty, and love towards one another. Then I thought, if I want to have any hope of seeing a day without sin, I have to start with me.

This was a springboard into the thought of the way we see sin in others. So I want to write a song called "maybe you didn't know" which will be like a story of a man who is walking by others and lovingly asking them if maybe they didn't know what they were doing. For the leading cause of so many of our sins is the lack of knowledge, for if we truly knew what we were doing, if we knew the pain it caused Christ, then out of love for God we would not be able to stand committing those sins. It's in forgetting God; forgetting ourselves that we sin.

Even when we want to argue with the fact that we may be committing a sin, it's partially because of our perspective. We do not see things in their proper light, for we wear the glasses of selfishness and yet we want to think ourselves entirely unselfish, so we cannot bear to conceive of things in any other manner. Maybe you should know.
