The problem isn’t as much what we’ve done
As it is what we’ve left undone
The problem isn’t as much our unmet needs
As it is what we’ve considered to be essential
The problem isn’t as much our inability to hear
As it is our unwillingness to listen
The problem isn’t as much what we’ve yet to grasp
As it is what we’ve been unwilling to let go of
The problem isn’t as much our lack of knowledge
As it is how little we’ve used the information we already have
The problem isn’t as much that we don’t wish to be changed
As it is our unwillingness to endure the process of transformation
The problem isn’t as much that we are without hope
As it is what we’ve invested that hope in
The problem isn’t as much that we lack faith
As it is our unwillingness to genuinely trust
The problem isn’t as much what we’ve considered evil
As it is what we’ve rationalized as being good
The problem isn’t as much our failure to preach the Gospel
As it is our failure to reflect Christ’s character
