What I Don’t Know

I personally think knowledge is way 0ver-rated. All that book learnin’ so you can learn to speak English good and to spell korrectly. Who needs it? Have you ever met one of those people who are so stinkin’ smart that they have gone past common sense and being able to tie their own shoelaces? Seriously.

I do think that there’s a whole lot I don’t know. You could fill entire libraries with all the stuff I don’t know. I’m okay with that. After all, it’s not what you know but Who you know that will get you where you need to be in life. And God knows everything (including all my junk, yet He loves me still).

I don’t know why God loves me like He does or why He still loves me when He has had many reasons to quit. I don’t know why He blesses me like He does. I certainly don’t know why He chose me out of all the people in the world, but I know He did. I don’t know where I am being led in this life, but I know and trust the One leading me (thanks, Oswald Chambers for that one!)

I don’t always know what to say or how to act in social settings. I have created many awkward moments with my lack of social grace. But I know that when I most need it, the Holy Spirit puts the words in my mouth just as He did for the early leaders when they spoke before kings. And He gives me very gracious and forgiving friends who look past my sometimes social nerdiness.

I do know that Jesus is madly in love with me and won’t let me go.  I know God looks at me and sees Jesus and thinks that’s pretty awesome. He sees all the perfection of Jesus when He sees me. I do know that no matter how rocky or winding the road I’m on can be, it will get me Home. I know that Jesus won’t just just me the way; He is the Way.

I don’t know whether 2 or 500 people will read this, but I know that I have to share what God puts on my heart, even if it’s only for me. I know that when my blog is long gone, when I am long gone, when my name is forgotten, God will still be faithful and true. And that will end the day after never.

Amen and amen!
