thought-provoking

This is an awesome quote I came across this week.

"We receive enlightenment only in proportion as we give ourselves more and more completely to God by humble submission and love. We do not first see, then act: we act, then see. It is only by the free submission of our judgment in dark faith that we can advance to the light of understanding… . And that is why the man who waits to see clearly before he will believe never starts on the journey."
- Thomas Merton
