"A lot of folks think closeness to God means knowing all the right answers. But I don't agree. I think closeness to God begins the night we toss nd turn in bed, realizing we don't know it all. Look at the Bible. Some of its finest saints were long on questions: Job on his ash heap, the disciples asking Jesus to teach them to pray, Nicodemus grilling Jesus late into the night, even Jesus on the cross.
Having spent much of my life showing off my smarts, I nearly choke on the words "I don't know." Still, I suspect those words might be the kingdom keys. What it boils down to is that God doesn't care whether or not we have right answers. Just right hearts."
~Philip Gulley in "Front Porch Tales"
