Real spirituality begins, though, when a person stops theorizing about God and begins actually attempting to know God. That’s how it’s always worked. Theory is safe and predictable because you get to remain in control. Theory happens on your terms. Relationship, on the other hand, is anything but safe and predictable. Relationship is to surrender control, to be open to disappointment again, but maybe, just maybe, on the other side of an attempt to actually know God, you’ll find life.
