Is Partial Plausibility the Same Thing as Impossible?

My friend Bee,

I hope that you are beginning to see that this entire enterprise truly is all about you. Is it evident to you that I am not trying to glorify myself? This is all a pretty strange way of going about things, if that was my intent.

Please understand that I have never wanted to cause you stress, anxiety, fear, anger, or any other unpleasant feelings or emotions. I know that many of the things that I have written to you have caused you grief, sorrow, and pain. There are certain things that I knew at the time that I wrote them would be a discomfort to you, but there are other things that I have written where I did not foresee tears in your eyes. However, I have always been careful to be as truthful with you as I could possibly ever be to anyone. I have leaned very heavily upon God to lead me as I write to you, to be certain that I really am being truthful with you.

This is the problem. Often times, the truth can be painful, but it is only by facing up to the truth that we can understand what is wrong and where the deception, the lies, and the subtlety exists in our lives. The truth is a light that reveals the darkness. Without the truth, we are unable to see the darkness in our lives.

In all soberness and sincerity, I have never knowingly allowed myself to say anything to you that I thought would cause you pain unless it was for the specific purpose to help you understand the truth. It is out of love that I have thought to cause you to suffer, so that you might know the truth and to be able to see the darkness and to be free from that darkness. Is it not better that you suffer sorrow and pain for a season in order to discover and to take hold of eternal joy and light, than it is to live in an undisturbed darkness until you finally realize that you will never ever be free from that darkness – a ^adarkness that continually becomes ever more dark? I have only ever wanted you to be happy and filled with joy, but you will never be able to find true happiness and to live in untethered joy as long as you are living in darkness.

I am not Worthy

My dear friend,

You (and many others that are reading this post) understand how that I am afflicted with a debilitating gastrointestinal disorder. There have been a few times over the course of this last year where I was completely convinced that I was only days away from a full deliverance from my affliction. Alas, in each case, I was not able to get past the threshold. Therefore, even as I write this, I am still suffering from my disorder. Perhaps you assumed that I must have found a cure to my problem, since I am now publicly telling world that God has called me out to circumnavigate the Earth. Yet, this is not so. God truly has called me out to do the impossible.

When I first accepted Jesus as my savior, I was still young and full of spit. Moreover, I did not know much about the Word of God. I certainly did not understand what it was to live by the law of faith. To the casual observer, I was every bit as heathen as any other twenty-year-old living a life of sin, apart from God. I have always been a hard worker, but apart from that, the only other thing I knew, in life, was how to party … and party I did! Therefore, in my folly God blessed me with this gastrointestinal disorder. I say that with all reverence; because, it was a genuine blessing. Had it not been for my affliction, I would have continued partying my life away into oblivion.
