This quote from Tozer about a “tiny point of light” is perfect. (I remember that from his book), and boy, it rings truer than ever in light of what God is showing me now. I love knowing that I know by the way of unknowing. :0)

It feels so secure, because once you know something by heart, it never leaves you. He recently told me that the one thing I must never change my mind about is the fact that He loves me. This I know by heart and so I don't change my mind about it, no matter what circumstances I am in. I read from Tozer today in The Knowledge of the Holy. He said, "Just as under certain conditions a tiny point of light can be seen, not by looking directly at it but by focusing the eyes slightly to one side, so it is with the idea of the uncreated (God)." When we try and know with our minds its like looking at the point of light, we can't seem to see it, it eludes us. But when we know with our hearts it just kind of sneaks in there by the way of unknowing as long as we're looking in the right direction. We're listening to the Character of God messages in our online class and you say in lesson one: "We know him in his Presence, not from figuring him out." Jaque,
