And yet the cross affords a way out of the riptide of our thinking. Because Jesus lives inside us, we can ask for His thoughts, these mysterious thoughts. We can search after His ways. We can receive what our practical minds, charged with broken histories, cannot give us. Though life on this earth still holds mystery, the swirl of thoughts that dance in our inner worlds and tell us our narratives do not have to drive us. With Jesus, the capacity of our minds expands.
