It all comes down to how we see and interpret. We all have filters. a generous dose of worldliness that can blind or impinge clarity of the spiritual. So many of us decide on truth long before we have any clue what it looks like or how to recognize it. Or we go on a search without the equipment for discovery, thinking we are naturally equipped to realize something totally alien to our experience and education. Funny, but really tragic.
For me, the questions cannot be approached directly; the answers are not in what I find but.what finds me: divine providence after my complete abandonment out of desperation, frustration, loss, failure, or disillusionment. These "awful mercies" of God help restore my vision, because I am left with no choice but trust in him, or where I needed to be all along.
