Nothing Greater

True wisdom will not be seen as such and rather as foolishness unless God gives us eyes to see and ears to hear. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

"To the discerning all of them [Wisdom's words] are right; they are faultless to those who have knowledge." -Proverbs 8:9

Who gives knowledge? Who gives discernment? Who gives wisdom? How can we know God? It is only because God reveals Himself in ways that are accommodating to us. We have no capacity for these things unless God intervenes. And He has. Revere the Lord. He is holy. There is none like Him. He bestows value and honor on us continually by loving us unconditionally. We must come to the place where we realize our position as creatures before the Creator. He is God and we are not.

Even so, He has made a way for us to know Him - we are created in His image. We share in the Trinity's unity of love through the work of Jesus. There is nothing greater than sharing in this.
