God spoke three words in answer to my question: What had He ever done?
I sent you.
The words came with His understanding, and I suppose that is what all words are in some sense: pieces of His understanding. What He had done for the disorder of the world was to create us. He had done this for everyone, not only me. He caused us to be. He upheld existence. He had made us as we are so that we could find within ourselves the capacity to face challenges, to overcome hardships, to be brave. His greatest gift to us was the one thing he lacked: our limitation, the greatest of all gifts, so that we could win through risk and fear to find love, truth, and beauty and own the things we won. So that we might, in our inherently uncertain world, figure out who we really are. For in that way, by overcoming without knowledge of the outcome, by risking without certainty of reward, we could become most like Him.
