Patience in Mysteries

Commentary

I have friends whose writing I sometimes don’t understand. Nor do they always understand my writing. I can’t blame them. In some cases, they may be pushing me for more clarity. However, just because something doesn’t make sense YET, that doesn’t mean it won’t make sense some day. Is the author good? Assume he or she will one day make sense. WORK at understanding, or—if it’s too hard—just wait. Your work—or patience—will be rewarded. 

I think this way about the Bible… and about myself and fellow writers. Or at least I try.
