Comments on: You Love the Lord, But… http://ceruleansanctum.com/2007/07/you-love-the-lord-but.html Looking for the 1st century Church in 21st century America Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:00:40 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: e. barrett http://ceruleansanctum.com/2007/07/you-love-the-lord-but.html#comment-28356 e. barrett Tue, 10 Jul 2007 13:29:42 +0000 http://ceruleansanctum.com/2007/07/you-love-the-lord-but.html#comment-28356 If I'm honest I think I'd have to say I'm not sure we'll have truly know. My guess is it's because no matter how much we want to be lead by God we are willfully stubborn. And maybe it's because the world is just broken, and doesn't work as God had intended. Maybe the Devil plays a role in our failures. Or maybe it's just plain dumb luck. Or maybe it's a bit of all of that. One of the themes in the Bible that strikes me is this: we all fail. Everyone. We all splat. But what God seems to prize is for us to get back up and try it again. Just like Wile E. Coyote. If I’m honest I think I’d have to say I’m not sure we’ll have truly know.

Sometimes you ignore the steely glare of distrust in their eyes and embrace their folded arms against your own chest. Mostly, it won't work. So you do it anyway.
