Crazy for My Lord

Everyone thinks I am crazy.  My family, my friends, my acquaintances.  I guess because I share the things the Lord tells me and the reaches my mind extends unto.  Admittedly most of those are non-believers.  But even my believer friends think I am somewhat crazy.  My close friend told me she thinks my way, my personality, terrifies people-even my friends.

 

In some way, I think of it as a compliment.  Many thought Jesus was crazy too, and he is a good one to have similarities to.  Also, the smartest people in history have also been somewhat crazy or eccentric.  And I want to be smart too.

Sometimes in light of these people I wonder if I am slipping down the rabbit hole, but instead of fighting it, I am relishing its cozy confines, and the places it takes me.  If feeling united to God more and more, and hearing Him speaking truth to me and through me makes me crazy, then I will accept that.  Being seen as sane by the world is not a comfort to me anymore.  It reminds me of the verse:

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.  ~1 Corinthians 1:25

For,

If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.  ~2 Corinthians 5:13
