Rationale

Think about it. Life brings people down too easily. Isn't it better to just have no emotions so that you grow hard against the world and it can't keep cutting you to draw the blood from you? Failures, deaths, stress, and everything that brings someone down to their knees should be all mosquito bites because we've bumped shoulders for many many years now. Don't we usually grow callused to things that are repetitive? When will my calluses set in. When will I learn that forming calluses aren't very pleasant? Jesus tells us to have soft warm hearts but the world is in cohort with ourselves and the vulnerable emotions within us to break us and bring us down. We harden up and eventually break. But then God comes in and fixes us. Do we still see the cracks underneath the glue? Or is God just that good of a repairman that we don't see the scars and learn nothing from it? Or do we choose to block out the cracks and scars so we don't remember any of it? Do we go back to being soft hearted? How does God soften our hearts? Does He even grow tired of it all? Because I'm sure a major part of the world grows extremely tired of it all the breaking then fixing. Do we just fix ourselves most the time with the instructions that God has given us? Do we patch ourselves back together all alone? If we do then we have to learn to accept the cracks and scars and wear them proudly because we were able to live through them. But that itself is the hardest task. But I see that then is the time when God's love comes in. Loving us in spite of the cracks and scars. His love is so weird that He values scars and cracks over the perfect. So illogical and irrational to the human mind and understanding that it's hard to accept. How do we live by and practice by what we don't understand? How do we begin to change that train of thought? Do we begin to accept and revel in failures with the fact that it will eventually be fixed and loved? I think if we do then we have to keep in mind that seeking failures isn't the right thing to do.

So then. Live life. Be engulfed in the love that finds beauty and love in the failures and scars. Practice to make that your life rather than what you have lived by for the past several years. Fail, rinse, repeat.
