“To love God is something greater than to know Him”
— Thomas Aquinas
Simplified Meaning:
Caring deeply for God is more important than just understanding who He is. Imagine a relationship with a friend or family member. It's one thing to know facts about them, like their favorite food or where they were born. But it's much more meaningful to truly love and care for them, to support them, and be there for them when they need you. Similarly, with God, simply knowing details about Him isn't enough. Loving God means feeling a deep connection, trusting Him, and wanting to follow His teachings. For example, you might learn all the rules of a sport, but actually playing the game, feeling the excitement and joy, brings a deeper level of engagement. In your daily life, this means focusing on building a heartfelt relationship with God, rather than just accumulating knowledge about Him. This love can inspire you to be a kinder, more compassionate person, reflecting your devotion in your actions and choices.
