As I talk with those who have chosen to enter the Kingdom of God, one reoccurring question invariably arises. "Am I going crazy?"
The problem with God is that He contradicts so much of our conventional wisdom. The greatest battle is never between Satan and the believer. No, the greatest of all battles rages between the believer and God. "There is a way that seems right to man" - words from the writer of Proverbs. Yet that way completely contradicts the way of God; it leads to death. Jesus wrestled with the Father in his most deep moment - "let this cup pass from me".
When one enters the realm of God, suddenly the pillars of so many of our beliefs are clearly seen for what they are - "There is a way that seems right to man". To somehow reject those foundational teachings that have been given to us feels like blasphemy. Yet in the kingdom of God, the source of those teachings becomes clear.
The resulting inner wrestling leaves us with the question - "Am I crazy?"
To the saint who has entered the Kingdom of God - I want to reassure you. You are not crazy!
