The truth that our wisdom reflects can be very hard for people to accept. Truth hurts. It was true for Neo when he learned that the life he thought he had lived was just a lie that the Matrix had feed him while he slept and it is true for us as we are confronted with the mess we make of our own lives and the understanding that God's ways are better.

We spend a great deal of time and energy deceiving ourselves. Take relationships for example. Many parents have a difficult time admitting to themselves that their child is a drug addict, even when all of the signs are there and are obvious to every one else. Many people refuse to accept that their spouse is having an affair, even when other people have pointed out the truth. It's hard. It hurts. We don't want to admit that, maybe, just maybe, someone else has an answer to the question 'what is life about' and that He might require something from us if we want to take part in it.

The hardest part, of course, is letting go of the things in my life that, although pleasant for the moment, or even for a long time, are not good for me, are not Godly, do not represent God as He is. Because, face it, I wanna be the star of my play, too.
