Just Because.....

"No matter how deeply we journey into the mystery of God's being-there-for-us, we shall never achieve any kind of knowledge that would qualify us as experts. The most travelled knight-errant of faith knows as much (that is, as little) as the beginner. If there is anything to 'learn' here it is chiefly, a matter of unlearning the presumptions that we have aptitudes or rights in the matter. If we are ever more fully welcomed into the infinite mystery of the divine conversation, it is not because we are clever, or interesting, or brave, or beautiful. The only final 'because' is, as the New Testament puts it, God first loved us." - George Pattison
