Details, Details

According to a temperament test I took a while ago I am strongly a "Melancholy" temperament. (with the rest mostly in "Phlegmatic")  Everyone of each temperament is, according to the test, generally characterized by certain qualities.  Two of the qualities of a Melancholy temperament are "Detail conscious" and "Perfectionist with high standards."


I would agree that I display these qualities and because of them I always like to have a perfect understanding of everything I'm dealing with.  Yet, I've come to realize that throughout my life there are some things that I will never understand or will take time to understand; both of which I'm not looking forward to.  I am very impatient, so waiting to get an answer is pure torture, but to never get an answer is even worse.  However, rather than getting caught up in what I don't know, I should be rejoicing in what I do know.  While people withhold information because of lack of trust or other selfish reasons,

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. -1 John 5:14

Even though I won't ever have a perfect understanding of everything, I should understand perfectly that all I really need is God.
