Who Are We Trying to Fool?

Why are we so safe in the things we pray? Who are we trying to keep from looking foolish? Us or him?

God, for now I know in part and I prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. I now desire to put my childish ways behind me.

Now I see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then I will see face-to-face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, Lord, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love (1 Cor. 13:9-13).

Help me prioritize the things that will always remain. Faith lives in all the places I wait to know fully.
