PRAISE GOD...GOOD NEWS: WE DON'T KNOW

[We] discover what Job finally experienced: in the midst of suffering, God can be trusted...we usually only know this in hindsight after the suffering and the struggle. It cannot be known beforehand, not theoretically or theologically. Our knowledge of God is participatory. God refuses to be intellectually 'thought,' and is only known in the passion and pain of it all.... -- Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, April 14, 2020.

If we are ever, in truth and in fact, going to live a turned-over life, we will need to gut-bucket, toenails-up, trust the God of our own understanding. That means we trust that what is, is for our very own personal benefit...especially when it, what is, looks and feels so wrong. And hurts alot into the bargain.

That's the point at which we are turned away from our reasoning mind, our common sense if you will, and hear declared within us the good news, that we don't know what we don't know. We are unknowing...powerless in a word...and in that vacuum of unknowing, we see.

People waste so much time in seeking to work out what they see. I declare to  you that in the seeing My purpose, all is done. (God Calling, April 14)

Oh my...there it is:  Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings.

Thank you.
