The cited quote in my today's Lenten reading is from I Corinthians 2:9: "... no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him."
I note there is no mention of the reasoning mind.
I believe that is precisely because the reasoning mind is incapable of comprehending God much less "what God has prepared for those who love him."
To me, that is the Catch-22 of the human condition. My Self knows that a power greater than itself is essential for me to live a happy, whole and free life, and I welcome that. My reasoning mind, however, cannot let that be true...indeed believes the Self's very survival is up to it to "figure it out." I don't doubt that my reasoning mind's theme song is "Here I Come To Save The Day."
It gives me comfort today to know I know that, no matter how often I catch myself plotting, planning, figuring how to...I always come back to my proven truth: God can and will if sought.
Thank You.
