"For if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord's."
-Romans 14:8
Truth is incredible; it is always a welcome guest because it does not change depending on perspective. Every imaginable thing of life between birth and death fits neatly into the borders painted by the truth above. How can such a complex mess fit into such a simple box? God's ways are more than very high above ours, but His truths are simple, because we don't confuse him. Most of the mess is messy because I don't recognize its relation to truth; it becomes unknowable and chaotic when the point of reference is ignored.
Faithfulness is a strong rope that links the messes of life to truth; knowing it and living it brings the truth of life into focus, moving the doer from being into living. Doing those little things right clears away grime in surprising amounts.
