What we need to learn cannot always be discovered from where we are now.  We must get on the other side of our present perception with its blind spots.  Most of us have said, “If I could only go back to then, knowing what I know now, my life would be very different!”  Life does not work that way.  We know what we know now because of where we have been.  There are things that we will be able to know tomorrow by the tests of today.  There are things our Lord wants to show us about Himself and ourselves, but we will not be ready for it until tomorrow.

“I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t handle them now.” John 16:12 (MSG)
