Not too many days ago, I was going through a real crisis of the soul. I can't describe it, though I wish I could. I was stepping back from God out of fear of the future, yet was trying not to, as I poured out my heart and soul. After two or three days, it abated enough that I could talk to God "like a normal person," and I was in cognitive dissonance at how he could forgive me so readily for the things I'd been feeling, thinking, and saying (even while I was struggling to believe differently, to believe faithfully).
The mercy and understanding of Jesus Christ is incredible, indeed!
