To be blind is not miserable; not to be able to bear blindness, that is miserable.
JOHN MILTONWhen we speak of knowing God, it must be understood with reference to man’s limited powers of comprehension. God, as He really is, is far beyond man’s imagination, let alone understanding. God has revealed only so much of Himself as our minds can conceive and the weakness of our nature can bear.
