What follows when you say "no"

They voted "No" and the reactions could not have been more different.

There was flag waving and brave talk; a sense of pride and an endless stream of brave self-justfying words. There was the demonisation of those who had done everything they could to help. There was a momentary feel-good atmosphere before the crushing reality of what they had done came home.

And for those who observed from a distance there was a wistful shaking of the head, over the blindness and sadness and the inevitability of what would eventually come.

They live in denial. They think the debt is a phantom that you can just wish away. They think that things can go on and there is no need for change, and some day, somehow it will all just turn out right.

Some people saw it, and threw themselves into work. But the size of the problem is far too great for any, or even many to influence. Like a colony of ants trying to flatten Everest.

As the darkest of dark clouds filled the horizons their eyes searched for rescue. But their only hope was to turn to the one they said "no" to.

Romans 6 v 23: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
