“The spirit of liberty . . . is the spirit that is not too sure it is always right.”
~ Judge Billings ~
I am free to make mistakes. It is okay for me to be wrong. I can say or do something that proves to be incorrect. I am not perfect.
Part of the liberty of being human is not being perfect. I am not God. In a sense, this is a relief. I do not have to take responsibility for the lives of others or the crises in the world. It is okay not to have all the answers. Indeed, the spiritual life is sometimes discovered in not knowing and allowing the answer to forever remain in the question.
My sobriety allows me to relax in any situation. It is perfectly human for me to ask “Why am I like I am?” But the answer rests in God.
God of reason, let me be satisfied with discovering You in the questions.
