community, lament, peace - 3-in-one

Thinking about the Trinity in my context here in So.Cal. makes me remember a comment Greg made about solitude months ago. That Jesus didn't go off in the wilderness to escape people, but to feel more fully His perfect community in the Trinity. Of course, I say, Solitude is not an escape but a refueling, a visit to the prayer closet.
Today Joseph Garlington mentioned that when Jesus was Baptised, and God said, "this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased," Jesus was led by the Spirit out into the wilderness to be tempted. So if one finds himself in the wilderness, does that mean God is pleased with him?
I recently blogged about hope and faith stengthened by adversity. But I'd never thought about how the beautiful music of our fellowship with the Trinity, could actually be born of adversity. That Spirit pulls us there to fellowship with us. Our growing faith is born of the struggle of fellowship. Maybe our most beautiful music is that which speaks of the struggle and paints an authentic picture of the struggle that God overcomes in us. Our inauthentic, always happy Christianity sells short God's ability to move in our lives and defeat the overwhelming stuff that actually creates fellowship with Him. The pop Christian happy life leaves no room for us to discover Joy in Him, because our happiness is an attitude, a constant decision to look on the bright side. That is our own stuff, a happiness that we try to create because we don't trust God to give us joy amidst the tough stuff. We don't want joy, we want optimism. We adhere to the power of positive thinking a lot more than we'd like to admit. We are afraid that our expression of struggle will indicate a lack of faith, when it is actually a testimony to it. Evidence of God's unimaginable power. Of right fellowship and favor with Him.
Do we ever say that Jesus had a lack of faith? Why do we try so hard not to be like Him?
