Have You Understood Much?

This verse reminds me that I haven’t understood much of God. Sometimes we thought that we know Him and understand Him, but may times, we don’t understand the work of His hands. All we need to do, says the Bible, just love Him truly with all our heart, with all affectionate reverence, prompt obedience and grateful recognition. So, have you understood much? Or have you love Him much? (-fon-)

If anyone imagines that he has come to know and understand much [of divine things, without love], he does not yet perceive and recognize and understand as strongly and clearly, nor has he become as intimately acquainted with anything as he ought or as is necessary.
But if one loves God truly [with affectionate reverence, prompt obedience, and grateful recognition of His blessing], he is known by God [recognized as worthy of His intimacy and love, and he is owned by Him].
--- 1 Corinthians 8:2-3
