How can we embrace our 'inner world’?

"Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes." - Walt Whitman's poem "Song of Myself"

Engaging with Walt Whitman is to go down a philosophical hole that will have you pondering all manner of things throughout your lifetime. Yet, this quote, which is stated throughout The Life of Chuck, opens the door to Chuck's story arc. It proves that we are defined by the people and experiences in our lives. Each causes us to live out the paradoxical existence of being human.

From a Christian perspective, Whitman wasn't wrong that each person can be a walking contradiction. Within our mind, body, and soul, we have had a purpose designed by God that wasn't meant to fight within itself.

Still, humanity needed restoration as sin entered the world and our lives. Despite the depth of thought this takes us all on, we can be thankful that our souls being restored isn't that complicated. God provided the death and resurrection of Jesus as a means of healing from sin, grief, and sorrow.

God is big enough to take care of humanity's issues by offering faith through Jesus Christ to solve the contradictions within our lives.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28 (NIV)
