Believe Quote by Kenneth W Griffin
“Just as a child accepts explanations given them beyond their present understanding, we must be willing to abandon all natural logic or the demand to understand.. for a brief moment, so a supernatural God can reveal himself to us. The place which operates outside what we consider natural logic is a realm called FAITH. Jesus taught that faith is the ability to approach God like a child, without restrictions of what we've learned placing limitations on new knowledge we've yet to obtain.”
