Do you know God, or know about Him?

Knowing a lot about God is not the same as knowing God. Shame on me for at times thinking that the two are synonymous. You should and will learn more an more about God as you grow with Him and he shows you more and more, but do not think just because someone has heard more, read more, or can quote more that they really know him. They may know about him, but does their life show just how much he knows them? Whoever you are, whoever you are, keeping searching the scriptures, yes, but above that do it to get to know Him more and He you, not just to increase your knowledge OF him. I pray this helps ease someone's troubles mind and heart tonight, be encouraged, grow with him, go to him. Blessings.
