I am but a stranger here... comfort in a crazy world

I do not belong here—in this modern world I mean. I really don’t fit in. Sometimes, I feel like I’m the one who is crazy, but most of the time I’m certain it’s the world not me. Do you feel the same?

Lost and found

“We all are born into the world looking for someone looking for us, and that we remain in this mode of searching for the rest of our lives.” - Curt Thompson ‍ I have a deep desire to know God. And not just know him, but for him to know me. For him to see me. My heart is touched by passages of scripture where God directly intervenes in someone’s life. John 1:43-51 is one such passage.

Am I merely escaping the requirement to improve?

Seeing everyone’s end-of-year accomplishment posts or new-year's-resolutions posts on social media makes me feel small. I liked your different way of thinking about self-improvement. However, I do wonder, when measuring progress in life, is it purely between God and me, or do people around me play a role as well? Am I turning to God to escape the difficult requirement of improving?

Technologies of Change

God has given me eternal life and he is bent on making me new, but now the question is, “how does God actually change me?” One thing I know, information alone doesn’t change me. Experience of God—his presence, love, and grace—does. Just knowing that God loves me doesn’t change my desires anymore than just knowing that heart surgery exists fixes my heart. I have to actually receive the surgery.
