And the really wonderful thing about it is that He wants us to know Him, as much of Him as we have the will and the heart to make space for in our lives.<br /><br />What UF said on the subject has always stuck with me: ‘‘...'salvation’ is life under the open sky, where each day is new and unique - a miracle in the infinite chain of miracles...For God is not unknowable, but rather, knowable – through inexhaustible and infinite knowledge.' (Letter X, 243)<br /><br />It might even be said that knowing Him is an integral part of our salvation.<br /><br />To me (and I am an acknowledged idiot) when something is labelled as 'unknowable' is denotes a dead end, nothing to see here, don't waste your time, move along now. And that is not the God that I know...Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750808052006968358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-32097901039419847632015-09-25T14:33:53.235-07:002015-09-25T14:33:53.235-07:00A word or concept becomes saturated when it can no...<i>A word or concept becomes saturated when it can no longer... how to put it... attract the unknown.</i><br /><br />I feel this about every word on a campaign slogan these days.tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354048695798015131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-63050544000645977672015-09-25T12:30:05.003-07:002015-09-25T12:30:05.003-07:00This is especially problematic...
