Beneath the juniper…
It’s God and us
If we choose to listen, however, to the positive thoughts, we will see they bring with them a power the lies do not have. They also bring wisdom, insight, and a strange comfort.
We know too much
The real God isn’t going to step in front of us and keep our sins from hurting us. No, this God is going to invite us to step in front with Him and join Him in this great war between good and evil.
We have to stop
We think we can condemn other people, become cynics ourselves, and pretend it doesn’t have any harmful effects.
