Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for Him. ~Ps 37:7
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” ~Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
Ave Maria! This little girl sure does make me laugh! She could easily be me in bygone years because that’s how I looked when I was very young. Oh yes, sometimes I wore pigtails, much to my delight, plus my curiosity was quite keen from a very early age. I've since updated my hairdo, and my curiosity has been tempered by the grace of God, but I still strive for patience toward all that is unsolved in my heart and in living everything, especially the questions.
