have you ever tried to describe water to a man living in a desert?

or light to a person born blind?

Whatever words you use, you can't fully describe what it is like; that first drop as it splashes on the lips; the first ray to illunimate the world.

thats what it felt like when people tried to describe Joy to me, and i think the same applies to the journey I am taking with knowing God's unconditional Love for me. Not there yet, but the clouds are brewing.

But its not just people struggling to communicate but God too. He does his best, with creation, Jesus' life and death and all that is entailed in that beautiful love story, with friends and family...

But our minds are so darkened, we really do see through a mirror darkly. He is trying to communicate his very essence, in all its freedom, beauty and simplicity, and yet we just don't get it. even when we do, and want to share it, it gets lost in translation between hearts and minds.

How his heart must break as we fumble around in the dark, clueless to it all.

I am staggered at his patience. And amazed at my inability to communicate the little specks of light that i have seen, to those i love most.

efforts seem to be like the dust, floating in the rays of light sneaking through the cracks.

and then I realise i don't really know how to love.

Not like Him.

Keep showing us Jesus, we need your help.
