“Have the humility to know that you will never understand My plans. You will never grasp the totality of the world... Your lack of knowledge gives you greater appreciation for the One who not only understands, but also created your planet and all that exists in all the galaxies.
What you can know and understand is your own obligations in the world, and how to live a joyous life, a life of meaning and purpose.”
