Depth

Some would say it is a strange thing to be overtaken with something as radical as a God we cannot comprehend. Those people have never been overtaken. Most of those people are "Christians." Its hard to imagine establishing a love so potent and so valuable as God has for us. Harder still to understand how a love so strong continues to burn over thousands of years of debauchery and whoredom. We don't seem to have the capacity to maintain that love for the nominal years we dedicate to marriages.

The trouble I have as a Christian is I act like I get the basics. I pretend to understand the love of Christ, the power of the cross, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. The fact is, I search and search for depth on a daily basis. I need something hard to understand to conquer my mind and twist it into a pretzel to feel like I am growing for that day. I think any of us that have been Christians for any period of time have gotten to this point. We chase after profundity with such zeal; like we chase after nothing else in life. We don't pursue God's face with the same zeal that we look for weightiness, and I believe, we suffer because of it. Even now, I'm trying to manipulate wordplay subconsciously so this is a more entertaining piece of writing, and so it takes you to a new level of thinking. Even so, here is the fact of the matter: we are so consumed with wisdom and knowledge that we have cheapened the gulf that is God's love. We don't realize that the most very basic piece to the Christianity puzzle, and the cornerstone of the entire Gospel message, is God's love and his plan for us. That is it. Within that love, there is a depth that we cannot ever understand in these bodies. I am not saying we shouldn't chase after wisdom. Wisdom is crucial and coveted, but we need to start back at the beginning sometimes and take in what has long been forgotten; that our God's love should so entrap us, that we can do nothing but try to understand it for our whole existence. Through that pursuit we will learn everything else we need to know.
