and how, to be in the beauty of me, of this, of all that I cant explain that I understand, without you? I come back to me and I want a tree house, I want to smile with you, I want to go back to what is real, what is true, what is noble, what is pure. tell me what actually changes, I cannot get any part of me to understand the Lord any less, I cannot end the call to return, to love Him with all of me. I miss you, what is in me doesn’t ever change. come back to yourself, come back, you’re my best friend, that I never need but always understand.

The Offense of Christ- Abolition of Tradition and Religious Ritual

Christ: why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

The disciples: do you not know that the Pharises are offended by your command to drop their traditions?

The Pharises: how dare he tell us to drop our restrictive traditions to obey the liberating commandments of God!

The postmodern ‘Pharise’: how dare he tell us to drop our tradition of secularism to obey the liberating commandments of God!

The existentialist: What traditions? 

The atheistic existentialist: What traditions? What liberation in the commandments of God? 

The christian existentialist: What traditions? why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition of confusion over the liberation of the commandments of God?  

Lord. (by kellyhavens)

Lord. (by kellyhavens)

the girl in me,

the instability in me, the madness of the intellect, the adventure of thought, fits a boy

the woman in me,

the wisdom, the soundness, the fear and trembling of the LORD, fits a man

and I, in such great halfness, am always conscious in the middle

fearless in the mind, but boldly fearful in heart 

the two of them that I love (love as a general term, in specifics love is more in one) drop to opposite ends, but I will not leave the middle.
