'We are.' Not 'We were.'

Just a disclaimer: I really do not fully understand, or even partially understand, anything I am about to talk about. It is all random coffee shop thoughts.

God is outside of time. So, that means that we are, there is not really a past or future. I may be 4 years sober, but everything I have done still is. Everything I have done is me, in a sense, because I am; not I was or will be. Everything I do is part of a total that is already there. This is what makes grace so great. I am a wretch, not I was, but I am and the sum total of what I am is forgiven and redeemed. If I am, then every I have done is. Because I am and everything I have done is, I am not any better than the person next to me.
