“Sometimes the gift of an inquisitive nature to the young can be greater than that of the wisdom which comes of age.”

God wants us to kick it down. Or perhaps just sit outside of it long enough until somebody tells us we can come in.

God finds us in the holes we dig for ourselves. We see failures; He sees foundations.
