The message today was loud and clear…most of the mess we get ourselves into always begins with a lie. I suppose the trick is to catch that tendency to lie the moment before we get sucked into it’s web of destruction.
We sat in the 9:00am mass listening to this message, ringing loud and clear. The lie doesn’t even have to be destructive towards others… in most cases it’s destructive towards ourselves. So what’s the truth? The truth is that no matter the situation we are in God’s hands.
But, what if someone doesn’t know God in that way? You know, in the way that it means something that this entity unseen has control of their life? What if they don’t know how to put trust into the mystery of faith?
I ran into a someone that feels this way …. and yet they long to know God, to trust, and to have faith. It kills me to not really have a clear answer. I can give examples of how I know but ultimately it will come down to their ability to deny the lie (or lies) that keep them from knowing Him. The biggest lie? That we aren’t worthy of such a love and devotion.
It hurts my heart. 🙁
But what I do know…God will prevail!
I’m about to leave with Ryan till Tuesday to go to a BETA convention in Dallas. Pray for us! 🙂
