Summary

This quote suggests that not knowing what the future holds is actually a mercy bestowed upon us by God. If we were able to see and know everything that awaited us, life would become incredibly burdensome. Uncertainty and the element of surprise allow us to navigate through life, face challenges, and experience growth in ways that would otherwise be impossible if we were constantly aware of our future. The quote implies that the lack of knowledge about the future provides us with a sense of hope and resilience, making life more bearable.
