willing not to know

“If something ends up declared as the Word of God, it must already be written. It is already written. We must not go beyond what is already written. We must not be sidetracked by one word of one prophet at the expense of all the other words of all the other prophets.
There has got to come the inevitable moment when we disengage from having to know, from thinking we know, from believing we know. It’s humbling, but when it comes to eschatological ebb and flow, we don’t know. We know certain things about Jesus Christ, and yet must be willing not to know anything at all. Someone may tell me that they know his Word, they’ve cracked the code, and they’ve travelled through space and time; but they may not know anything at all. We must be infinitely resigned to not knowing the future plan of God.”
(quote from page 289, Clairvaux Manifesto)

Resigned to Your Love:
"I felt it first when I was younger
A strange connection to the light
I tried to satisfy the hunger, I never got it right
I never got it right
So I climbed a mountain and built an altar
Looked out as far as I could see
And everyday I'm getting older, I'm running out of dreams
I'm running out of dreams
But your love, your love
The only thing that matters is
Your love, your love
Is all I have to give
Your love is enough to light up the darkness
It's your love, your love
All I ever needed is your love
You know the effort I have given
And you know exactly what it cost
And though my innocence was taken, not everything is lost
Not everything is lost, no
You're the hope in the morning
You're the light when the night is falling
You're the song when my heart is singing
It's your love
You're the eyes to the blind man
You're the feet to the lame man walking
You're the sound to the people singing
It's your love
Your love is all that I needed
All I ever needed is your love
All I ever needed is your love
Your love is all that I needed
All I ever needed is your love
Your love is all that I needed
It's all I ever needed."
Your Love by Brandon Heath
