glorious goodness and grace

“My word, you’d have to be crazy to be a Christian in this day and age.”

Her words stung. I didn’t have a curated comeback. The conversation quickly shifted over to her questions about special needs parenting, but her words still sat there in my gut as I pondered them. The reality was that I kinda sorta really agreed with her.

In the eyes of the world, being a Christian is radical.

Living like a Christian defies odds.

Living more like Jesus is audacious and goes against the flow of the stream.

Your faith in the glorious goodness and grace of God-despite your feelings-will look like madness.

If faith is madness, so be it.

May it be the most glorious madness.
