Standing in the holy place, we will finally see how foolish - how ridiculously pompous - we have been all our lives, how confused and in error we were about so many things, how we took the small measure of revelation God gave us and tried to market it as the beginning and the end. We will understand just how gracious God has been to us, how patiently he bore with our smallness of mind and hardness of heart, how gentle and kind he was when we least deserved it, and how - out of pure generosity - he protected us from our own folly again and again.   And we will stand in awe.
