About This Quote

In the Bible, the word Revelation refers to a book of prophecy. "Revelation" is a clue to some of its meaning. God is not some great cosmic figure that stands above us, looking down on our lives. He is a friend who cares deeply about us and wants to be part of our lives.

He will speak to us often, but not always in the way we expect. This quote from "Gulliver's Travels" captures this idea.
