🌼Field Notes from the Wild and the Holy🌼
I highly recommend watching the video for this post, located at the end.
Also, I apologize for the “bad writing,” but I took the text from an unscripted audio file and didn’t want to change it too much from the original.
When we finally come to Christ, when we reach that point where we’ve had enough of the world’s cruelty, suppression, and pain, it’s often those very things that drive us to Him. Sadly, that’s usually what it takes to wake us up and see the truth. Because when life is smooth, when everything seems fine, we don’t feel a need to search for help or hope. It’s like a person with a healthy leg not thinking to visit a doctor for a cast.
But faith doesn’t work that way. It should be the reverse.
I’ve known this truth my whole life, but I ignored it. I knew my life had more meaning than what I pretended it did. But as long as everything looked okay, I didn’t seek the truth. God should be the first One we go to in everything, in joy and in sorrow, in peace and in pain.
When little children wake up, who do they run to? Their parents—for hugs, breakfast, and love. Not because they’re hurt or in trouble, but simply because they crave that closeness. They don’t wait until they fall or scrape their knee to seek out their mother or father. It should be the same with us and our Father in heaven.
