@north,
north; what of outgrowing 'self' altogether.
God does not make mistakes,
God is the first pupil,
therefore the first teacher.
God makes adjustments.
But there is something to be said for following Gods lesson plan.
And knowing ouselves enough to know when we have at the least caught up with God.
And yes, do we have the ability to surpass God?
I am not sure God would have created us with out the express understanding we could be married not just offspring.
