What do you do when you realize that you no longer love the truth?
I used to have such a passion for truth. For finding my true purpose and pursuing it. A hunger for goodness and purity. A thirst for righteousness and light.
But what do you do when you realize you've grown to despise the truth? That you have a deep-rooted bitterness toward this truth that has brought such pain and sorrow into your life? What do you do when everything you once lived for you now hate?
Why does my soul grow weary of doing good? Why does my mind shut out words of life? Why has my heart become so hardened towards what I once loved?
I'm enthralled and enchanted by the things of this world, even though I know they are empty and meaningless.
I just know that the narrow path that leads to life in Christ is so hard and painful. And I desire something easier, something wider.
"Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."
Matthew 7:13-14
Lord, teach me to desire the way that is narrow and leads to life.
