Because you cannot understand God, it also means you cannot understand God’s will. It also means you cannot understand God’s love, the love of God.

If you cannot feel this deeper movement, well, God is foreign to you. God is an idea which you can either accept or set aside.
God has placed an expression of God’s will and love within you, deep within you, deep beneath the intellect, a will and love you cannot control, you cannot dominate, you cannot use it to gain wealth, power or influence.
