What we experience in life and love innoculates us against weakness in the face of the as yet unencountered and unknowable. These are physical, and psychological. The pain of alienation and struggle through subsequent surrender we experience in our relationship with God is born of the same purpose. We cannot be overcome by our fears of inadequacy and unworthiness after we realize what we have been given. God allows us to be completely immersed in their implications, and then frees us from them to serve His purpose much greater than ourselves or our expectations of the world.
Perhaps our inability to grasp the vastness of the universe and our equally futile attempts to understand the incomprehensible depths of our own selves is reflective and gifted proof from God of his presence.
