there are things i can't explain. oh, that i could. as much as i acknowledge the mysteries of God, i also have such a backlog of real history with him that i'm not at all familiar with the violent battle of belief i find in some people. my wars are different.
but to know him and know his kindness- his gentle voice and comfort. truth and justice. jesus. i don't have english words to describe him adequately.
religion has done a bang-up job screwing with our picture of God. while religion means well [i guess], people shift like sand, grasping for something to hang their lives on...but it often leads to such a mess of relativism that God is no longer Jesus.
and whatever is beautiful is God. he's so much more.
i recently learned that a lack of closeness with jesus and a lack of real dependence on him just leads us to legalism. it makes so much sense. when you aren't close with him, the 'rules' are the overbearing focus and they seem so suffocating. when you know jesus, his influence is simply loving boundaries of truth.
in reality, we don't decide what's true. and that's good news. reallllly good news. we can stop screwing up our lives now and just let him in.
