The Paradoxical Commandments (1)

People are illogical,
unreasonable, and
self-centered.
Love them anyway.

Object Permanence

If my children are awake in the morning and they cannot see me, they cry out. They are still developing a sense of object permanence.

Sometimes I cry out to God. But He is here, whether I see Him or not.

Intimacy

?Is it physical - Is it emotional - Is it cerebral - Is it commutative - Is it spiritual?

Isolation doesn't require an island or a cell.
Intimacy isn't created by close proximity to a person.
Verbiage doesn't suffice.

"It is not good for man to be alone."

People come and go.

But Christ...
