here's what happens:
we've got our people. our ordinary, run-of-the-mill, broken, insecure people. these people occasionally have some sort of much sought after talent, but more times than not, they just know who they are and what they're about.
we take them, encrust them in gold, vocalize their credibility more than our own. sometimes they become god, sometimes they don't. sometimes they become who we want to become. sometimes we get so caught up in wanting to become them that we forget we weren't put on the earth to make a goal of becoming someone else. rather, we were placed here for a reason. a bigger, but an ironically simple one. because really, when we try to become like another ordinary, run-of-the-mill, broken, insecure person, all of those flaws usually blow up right in our faces, floating up to the surface like wreckage. it leaves nothing but disrespect for the person who we wanted to become, and a bad taste in the mouths of us.
maybe this is what Jesus meant when He talked about how we're so blessed to still have not yet seen Him, but still have faith.

If Gods blessings were dependent on our performance, they would be meager indeed. Even our best works are shot through with sin, especially if we're mimicking ordinary, run-of-the-mill people. Our efforts are tainted with various degrees of impure motives and lots of imperfect performance. Its like were trying to put on our best suit with mud all over our hands. We just end up looking like fools with mud on our face and a "bad taste in our mouth."
Good thoughts Cody.
