You get hammered in life, but you get hammered into interesting shapes. Like most, I'd prefer my blessings to come without disguises! And then Life happened.......
Words that do not become flesh in us remain "just words." They have no power to affect our lives. If someone says, "I love you," without any deep emotion, the words do more harm than good. But if these same words are spoken from the heart, they can create new life.
It is important that we keep in touch with the source of our words. Our great temptation is to become "pleasers," people who say the right words to please others but whose words have no roots in their interior lives. We have to keep making sure our words are rooted in our hearts. The best way to do that is in prayerful silence.

Rich,
In only a few words, you so eloquently (yet sadly) point to one choosing to eat from only the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in their understanding of God, instead of opening hearts to Papa as the Son, the Person of Jesus Christ.
Truly, understanding, faith, wisdom, trust, love and belief in God comes from the heart...from the spirit to/from the Holy Spirit.
Blessings,

Well, that sounds a lot easier, doesn't it?! ;)
