Faith seems unnatural sometimes. So does love. Healing. Forgiveness. Growth. Discipline. Relationships. Even prayer. These are not always our bodies and souls intuition. Forgive someone who has destroyed something I love? Not natural. Believe in something I cannot really see? Not natural. Love passionately without the reservations of being hurt? Not natural. Trust in someone besides myself? Not natural. Yet, Christ calls us to these things. If they were natural to us, they probably wouldn't be Holy, would they? And that's the point.
Be Holy for I am Holy. Not "be Holy...because it comes naturally".

"I have not been called to the wisdom of this world.
But to a God who is calling out to me.
And even though the world may think I'm losing touch with reality
It would be crazy
To choose this world over eternity"
-Mercy Me
