At the point of unexplainable is where the miracle of God appears. That's from a note in my "God Calling" dated 8/31/12. I doubt it is original but I didn't note the author. It just gives me hope this morning what with the state of my world...the politics (Trump), the weather (Harvey), Comcast (enough said). I'm reminded of the old hymn, "Someday We'll Understand."
Pondering it, though, "at the point of unexplainable," I believe, is when we run out of "I know." It's when we're feeling hopeless and helpless, and that's not a feeling, it's a fact, we are indeed hopeless and helpless. The reason being: We've run out of "I know."
I doubt many (any?) of us would ever turn to a power greater (positive or negative) than our own self if we never ran out of "I knows." And some of us don't. And some of us take longer than others.
Ah, there's the paradox and the pearl beyond price. It matters not whether or if in this lifetime we run out of "I knows." "I know" is just another path to God, it's just a roundabout way of getting there. But aren't they all? Even the Buddha, even Christ Jesus, even Saint Francis did not get there, to God, in one step forward.
At the point of unexplainable is where the miracle of God appears, then, is our "thank you" at the point of crash-and-burn for we know gratitude even as. That cannot happen in one step forward. For which we can be grateful, we'd miss all the love and laughter if it did.
Thank you.
