Mystery

Well, here I am, trying to wrap my mind around the start of another semester. I am excited to study the Word of God in more depth; ready for new questions and new revelations!

As I read and study Hebrews, I hope that I can begin to discover more about who this God I claim to love truly is.

Brennan Manning, in his book, The Relentless Tenderness of Jesus, says that our descriptions of God "are feeble and inadequate, as are all human words, because Mystery is spoiled by a word."

This quote has stuck with me, and while I agree that God is so much more than anything we can fully comprehend, I believe He has graciously given us a glimpse. So with humility and joy, I am seeking to discover and hope to gain a greater understanding of God's incredible character!
