God wills us to be transformed instead of informed. He wills us to be in astonishment and awe of His love and greatness – to be in the constant and full experience of oneness with Him.
We can get there only through what Jesus described as “the beginner’s mind of a curious child.” Awe and wonder are the means, while wisdom is the destination. Wisdom is not knowledge and certainty, but “knowing that we do not know.” This unknowing is an understanding, and our word for it is faith, a kind of knowing that does not need to know.
This is what Paul meant in 1 Corinthians 13:12 “Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.”
