Argh! Some days I find Oswald downright frustrating. Like today. . . If I abandon my life to God, I will be surprised and delighted, but I cannot want the surprise or the delight beforehand. If I am burnt out, it is because God has not given me life, but I am not supposed to desire life in any familiar sense. It is somehow wrong for me to long for the great things that God has promised throughout his word. My disappointments are due to my sin or my tendency to overcomplicate things. But . . . No questions allowed! Questions are a sign that I am holding back and not abandoning fully.
I'm sure I'm missing something (please feel free to comment), but today's devotional seems like a complete lose-lose to me.
