Christians can sometimes be looked at as naive or dumb individuals based on their body language when their actions come out of true love and submission. Sometimes I ask myself, can selfless acts run in parallel to rational and intelligent thinking. Those acts can make them look like almost baby-like, so innocent and naive. It could almost appear that they let their brains turn off and behave in a way that is a "christian group setting" think and do! There is perhaps security in such a setting which makes one "cozy" in each other's safe company. This kind of safe setting is found in church services, prayer time, worship, etc.
After careful thought I realized, this naivety stems from a greater intelligent, rational and balanced thinking. And also from the fact that there is limit to human capacity, and the realization that we are weak individuals. Its probably divine design that when we become so naive and even dumb, we become tender and when we become tender in the church environment, its the most fertile time to let the Spirit of God into your heart and mind. In our weakest moment, we can be made whole again. This refilling is required and does not happen in self isolation but happens in church congregation and worship. I have to also add, after careful thought, I realized that Christians use their IQ well, submit themselves to only God, humble themselves among people and are filled to do what God intends to do with them and give Him the glory for everything. Dumbness means tenderness just for one reason, to let God's Spirit to fill us, because we sometimes run too long on "empty".
