The Freedom of Not Knowing
Have you ever felt the heavy burden of needing to have all the answers? Many of us wrestle with the need for certainty, convinced that knowing who is right and who is wrong will bring clarity or peace. But this relentless pursuit often leads us to a place of judgment, division, and a longing for control that only deepens our unrest. It’s exhausting to carry the weight of certainty in a world full of mystery.
What if faith was never meant to be about having all the answers? True faith invites us to release our need to divide the world into good and bad and to embrace the humility of not knowing. In this space of surrender, we discover a deeper trust—not in our ability to understand, but in the wisdom of a love that holds all things together.
Imagine stepping away from judgment and living with a heart open to mystery. Instead of striving for control, we could make room for connection, compassion, and curiosity. This is where love grows.
Today, release your need to figure it all out. Embrace the gift of not knowing, and let love lead you into a life of freedom and grace.
Going Deeper
Why do we crave certainty so deeply? Why does the unknown often feel like a threat? These questions strike at the heart of what it means to be human. Many of us have been taught that faith is about knowing what’s right and wrong, who’s in and who’s out. But could it be that faith is something altogether different?
Faith, at its core, isn’t about certainty; it’s about trust. Trust that love is stronger than fear. Trust that we don’t need to have all the answers to live fully and compassionately. The story of the tree of knowledge in Genesis whispers this truth: our obsession with categorizing and controlling often blinds us to the sacred beauty of simply being.
What would it look like to let go of the need to know and instead lean into trust? You might find that life becomes less about drawing lines and more about crossing them—with love as your guide.
Today, pause when you feel the pull to judge or define. Ask yourself: What does love require here? Faith isn’t about holding all the answers—it’s about holding space for the divine mystery in every moment.
