Quotes about Questions
Whenever we make a decision about something, most of us want to be sure, beyond any doubt, of what is absolutely true. That will never happen spiritually. We're talking about God, and there is no way you can get every question about him answered. If you could fathom everything that there is to know about God, he'd be no bigger than your mind—no larger than your intellect—and that would be a small God. The goal isn't to get every answer, but enough answers.

- Joel Osteen
To receive spiritual direction is to recognize that God does not solve our problems or answer all our questions, but leads us closer to the mystery of our existence where all questions cease.
