We are like six blind men who visit an Elephant.
The blind man who feels a leg says the elephant is like a
pillar;
The one who feels the tail says the elephant is like a rope;
The one who feels the trunk says the elephant is like a
tree branch;
The one who feels the ear says the elephant is like a hand
fan;
The one who feels the belly says the elephant is like a
wall;
The one who feels the tusk says the elephant is like a solid
pipe

Matthew 6:10

revelation through the word.

enables us surrender to him
