‘But if once you have begun to see that Christianity is probable you will know in your heart that this is only evading the issue. What can you ever really know of other people’s souls–of their temptations, their opportunities, their struggles? One soul in the whole creation you do know and it is the only one whose fate is placed in your hands. If there is a God, you are, in a sense, alone with Him. You cannot put Him off with speculations..What will all the hearsay count when the fog which we call ‘nature’ or ‘the real world’ fades away and the Presence in which you have always stood becomes palpable, immediate, and unavoidable?

-Mere Christianity

I really liked this passage. The other night, Alex explained to me, frustrated, how he doubts Christian genuity- that half of the people in church are simply going through the motions [among other things..]. And I had to say, he’s probably sadly true. We will Never Truly Know the heart of others, and what they think, how they feel, what makes them tick…..but there’s one who we know. And that is ourselves. While we can never know the inner workings of others, we know the inner workings of ourselves. And God knows all we know, plus an infinitude more. I may be indecisive, silly, misunderstood, and the like, but I am seeking and striving toward God’s heart. I want to be a little Christ, and every day I want to get closer. And I sometimes doubt, everyone doubts from time to time, but I know my heart, and it stands in Christ.

But, I confuse myself.
Christ brings clarity.
