Some mysteries are too sacred to try to solve, rather we should rejoice in the mysteries associated with our Father which art in heaven. | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story Now that I have solved that mystery, what do I do? Do I go for my satisfaction or do I protect my siblings from being disappointed? It was then that I had solved the biggest mystery in life. That being, every mystery you solve presents a bigger mystery you cannot solve. That seems to be the way of life. I am glad I learned that when I was young because it has been beneficial to me down through the years. I have learned to live with mysteries with no desire to uncover those mysteries. When I say, “no desire,” I do not mean that literally. Yes, there have been many mysteries I have wanted to solve. But my biggest discipline is to let a mystery be a mystery. This is so helpful to me, especially since I became a husband. Every husband knows that his wife, as wonderful as she is, is a basket full of mysteries. When I first got married, I thought my job was to solve every one of those mysteries. I learned very quickly that solving a marital mystery, particularly on the feminine side, is rather a dangerous venture with no good marks behind it. Some things are better left in the mystery basket of life. Paul understood this when he wrote, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” (1 Timothy 3:16). Some mysteries are too sacred to try to solve, rather we should rejoice in the mysteries associated with our Father which art in heaven. Tweet
