“When you think you understand it, you actually don’t understand it at all.”
“The more you think you understand, the more you don’t understand.”
These 2 thoughts simply pop up into my mind during the last few days. There are many things I thought I have understood, be it in work, in relationship or in ministry. But lately, I am humbled. I am actually still in infant stage for the many things that I have embarked into. There are many things and areas of my life that I thought I am handling pretty ok and understanding them, seems to prove me otherwise. I might have appeared to know alot, but now I realise how little I have known and understand.
Maybe its time for me to once again to learn to be humble, to know that there are still many things that I have yet to learn and understand. To be patient, for lives and relationships need time and space to be built upon. To be kind, for the world does not evolve around me. To protect, trust and hope, for things may not look as bad as it seems. Ultimately, it is time for me to love again.
” Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perserveres. Love never fails.” 1 Cor 13:4-8 (NIV)
