Strangest and Most Foreign
Perhaps God is strangest and most foreign to us exactly here, in God's faithfulness. We are inclined to faithlessness. We flit from god to god, security to apparent security, thrill to thrill. The church and individual Christians constantly cozy up up to ascendant ideologies and nationalisms. We are prone to prostitution, in the sense that we are constantly available to the highest bidder. Yet all the while the one and true God perseveres, keeps up wild pursuit of a beloved that will not be forgotten or relinquished.
