The Real Truth about God...And What It Means To You


How to live with “I don’t know”

I’m coming to realize that living in the Truth of “I don’t know” may be one of my most important growth steps. Because the Truth is that “I don’t know”! I believe, but I don’t know for sure that I can do it. (Last time I did it, it worked fine, but what if the tool breaks, or the resources arn’t available?) I believe, but I don’t know for sure how much God loves me. (It’s alot, but He’s not easy, sometimes His love is tough and doesn’t feel like love!) I believe, but I don’t know for sure much of anything. (I don’t fully understand God, I’ve only observed God and His character!) The uncertainty is the part that most people who don’t believe in God, can’t make their peace with; believing looks too much like ‘magical thinking’. But, honestly, “I don’t know” is the most honest thing that any of us can say. Once we realize that, we realize that we still have to believe in something we don’t fully understand (Science, my decision, Gravity, Mother Nature, Evolution, God, our parents or spouse, ect…). I choose God. And after almost 50 years of testing, He has proven His worth, even if I still don’t know it!
