As Scrooge sings it in the 1951 film version of ‘A Christmas Carol’: “I don’t know anything. I never did know anything! But now I know that I don’t know! All on a Christmas morning.” This post reminded me of that, one of my favorite movie scenes. My beliefs are based in what I think I know. My Faith is based in Him Who Knows All Things. I am a flawed creature, awesomely made, but needing direction from a Creator Who Loves me❣️like Scrooge it’s taken me most of my life, and almost took my life, to accept and understand His Good Orderly Direction. Thank you Dr. Jacobs, since your teachings are now a part of that.
Ah, thank you for reminding me that I am a created being full of potential and the very fact that I'm not where I'd like to be is an invitation to partner with His Divine energies. Still working to get past the modern (materialist?) sense that He is "out there," or far off and somewhere that I can't seem to access. It's not a crisis of belief, but certainly a crisis of faith. I see the chair, I intellectually believe it will hold me up, so why can't I seem sit down on it? See you in part 3!
