Truth is stranger than fiction. Truth is also better than fiction. Truth doesn't always make sense, but it is the real thing and it is liberating. The truth of Jesus Christ is so simple that most of us miss it even when it is revealed to us by Jesus Himself. The love of Jesus is pure and generous, it's full of grace and goodness and peace but because we don't understand it we allow ourselves to be fooled by fictitious thoughts of fear and stress that is not of God. Jesus does not say that when we come to him He will give us confusion or hurt or pain, he promises to freely give us rest and peace and unspeakable joy in a confusing, hurting and painful world. He sits at the mercy seat and offers us the free gift of the Holy Spirit. We have not because we ask not because we fool ourselves with fiction...now that's strange.
