So, when you encounter such people who want such certainty so desperately, allow your hearts to be softened, allow yourselves to be understanding as the Father is. You do not need to adopt the same tone and fire right back, so to speak. For this type of striving accomplishes nothing. The [[wisdom|wisest]] men always preface their comments with qualifiers which denote an uncertainty. Everyone is uncertain so when you say I really don't know but could it be... then the other person is receptive and you can offer the tender grass and it will be received. It never works to pick up the thistles and thorns of absolutism and try to shove that down the throats of someone who is not inclined to take it.

[[Theology]] matters very little to one who walks with him daily.

[[Value]] your friendships. Allow your tender hearts to mingle, to know each other. Put away pride, put away affectation. Be for a little while two creatures who know very little but who share a love for each other without a lot of baggage. . . . . [Editor: Personal Messages Removed]
