I am so blessed that MIC still meets and shares. We were able to come together and combine our realizations about God to encourage each other. Like what P. Seth said: the more we learn about God, the more we realize we don't know God. This is very true.
Imagine there's this elephant and a group of blind people. The assignment for the blind people is to go feel the elephant and describe what this elephant is like. So the first person goes and feels the tail--it's furry; the second person goes and feels the trunk--it's rough; the third person goes and feels the leg--it's like thick... their perspective of this elephant is different. However, when they come together, they are able to share with each other, and put together a better picture of this elephant. Even though they didn't touch this elephant on every single part, but because they knew they were touching the same elephant, they were able to learn together a little more about this elephant than on their own and have a better idea how this elephant is like.
God is this elephant and we are the blind people. He graciously showed himself to us--as much as we could understand. But by showing us different characters and putting us together to share with each other, we were able to be encouraged and have a better understanding about God though we could never fully understand Him.
Thanks Lord for your grace and your gift!
