I never said I new the whole will of God.  I only know that which is laid out
in His Word.  I don't know His plan for anyone's life, not even my own.  Some
of God is beyond the ability of man to grasp.  The things that need to be 
known about God to be saved are found in the scriptures, and can be understood
with the Spirit's help.

I am only important because of the relationship that I have with God.  On my
own strength I am not important.  Only when I allow God to use me do I have
a sense of importance.

The only knowledge I claim to know is the knowledge found in the Scripture.  I
do not know all of God's will and I know none of His thoughts.  I only know 
what I have read about His plan in the Bible.  Why should I want to fill my
mind with things that are not revealed by God in the Bible?  Nothing else in
this world contains more truth than His Word.
