“The goofy thing about the Christian faith is that you believe it and don’t believe it at the same time. It isn’t unlike having an imaginary friend. I believe in Jesus; I believe He is the Son of God, but every time I sit down to explain this to somebody I feel like a palm reader, like somebody who works at a circus or a kid who is always making things up or somebody at a Star Trek convention who hasn’t figured out the show isn’t real.
Until.
When one of my friends becomes a Christian… the experience is euphoric. I see in their eyes the trueness of the story.”
– Donald Miller in Blue Like Jazz
This weekend I was with a group of women worshipping and learning and being silly together, and I saw it. And I see it in these people that sprung from my body and I have no idea how they are who they are, but they know Him. I see it in them and in the world our Father made. So we take long walks on the pier at sunset and he brings a saxophone along, because we want to catch a glimpse… We want to look deep at the trueness of the story.
