"But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him" 1 Corinthians 8:3
It says that the one who loves God will be known by Him, and not "the one who loves God will know Him". It isn't about how well we "know" Him! That's something I don't hear often or at all actually. What a great reminder it is when C.S. Lewis writes in Weight of Glory, "How God thinks of us is not only more important, but infinitely more important". One day everyone will be judged; he will be either exiled and repelled or welcomed and acknowledged by God. How well we perceive God would not at the least be significant. I think we sometimes spend too much time and energy trying to figure out God. The reality is we can never come close to understanding Him even partially. Instead, we should use our energy to serve whom service is due. To find approval from God, even though it seems impossible, should be what we should always strive for.
