Why then are we resistant to living in a liminal state? Isn’t it clear that God is working on us and with us in liminal seasons? Why is the disorientation that we experience so intolerable? Why do we stand outside of our own story and pray for liminality to end, when the liminality is itself an invitation to transformation? Our resistance stems from the fact that liminality always begins with an ending, an experience of loss. And humankind resists loss. We also resist the unknowing inherent in “not yet”—the loss of control over our own destiny.
