Not at all. If it smells like a skunk and looks like a skunk it must be a skunk. Which is why on the outside looking in its much more pleasant.
You need to experience it firsthand, if you have what it takes.
Faith is a gift. I shouldn't have to "have what it takes." Tough guy Christianity. lol. That's all I need. lol.
What it takes is the ability to be honest with who you are, your sin condition, and your desperate need for redemption. And that Christ is the only person that can deal with your reality.
"Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all."
You can run and hide and deny and make excuses, but your need is inescapable.
