Living It!

       On Facebook, I follow a page called Hebrew for Christians.  This was one of their most recent status updates, and I absolutely had to share it with you!  Truly living the faith we claim is a heart cry of mine, and this just spoke volumes to me.  I've included two links after the quote.  The first is to their Facebook page, the second is to their website.  I've only recently found this site (as I have only recently become interested in the Hebrew language), but I have rather enjoyed it.  Hope you do as well!

"Only the truth that is lived matters. Students of the great sages would go to their master's home to see how he ate his soup, how he drank wine, how he treated his wife, how patient he was with his children, etc. God does not want "lip service" or your acknowledgment of the theology that others have worked to understand. "Truth is not something you can appropriate easily and quickly. You certainly... cannot sleep or dream yourself into the truth. No, you must be tried, do battle, and suffer if you are to acquire truth for yourself. It is a sheer illusion to think that in relation to truth there is an abridgment, a short cut that dispenses with the necessity of struggling for it. With respect to acquiring truth to live by, every generation and every individual essentially begin from the beginning." - SK"
