Understanding-What does it mean?
Relying on human beings (and even ourselves) for what only God can provide will always leave us disappointed.
God works through people and we need people, but people are still faulty because we have limitations. We have limits on our time, resources, emotional and mental energy and strength, limits on wisdom and limits on what we can control. Perfection is found in Jesus Christ alone. Our only hope is in Christ.
