I can only speak for myself. This is my testimony: God is real.
The Word says, “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8, NKJV). What I have come to understand is that God is nothing like what we imagine. He declares, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways… For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways” (Isaiah 55:8–9).
We cannot reduce Him to our preferences, experiences, or emotions.
Scripture tells us, “For God so loved the world…” (John 3:16). He loved this world — this earth and all He created within it. Yet Romans 5:8 reminds us, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” His love is not based on our deserving it. It is rooted in His nature.
Paul writes that we are invited to know “the love of Christ which passes knowledge” (Ephesians 3:19). His peace “surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:7). There are depths of God that the human mind cannot comprehend.
And yet, humanity often misunderstands Him.
When Jesus cried from the cross, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do” (Luke 23:34), He exposed a painful truth: we often act in ignorance. Second Corinthians 4:4 explains that “the god of this age has blinded” minds. Our pride, wounds, and emotions can distort how we see our Father.
But Proverbs 9:10 declares, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” True understanding begins with reverence. It begins when we admit that we do not fully know — and we ask Him to reveal Himself.
Jeremiah 9:23–24 says, “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom… but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me.”
That is the invitation.
Not just to know about God — but to know Him.
If we truly desire wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of God, we must seek Him intentionally. Scripture promises, “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).
Ask Him to remove the blindness.
Ask Him to soften your heart.
Ask Him to reveal who He truly is — beyond your assumptions.
Open His Word.
Humble yourself.
Pray.
James 1:5 gives us this promise: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God… and it will be given to him.”
God is not hiding from us.
He is inviting us.
The question is: will we seek Him?
