how much do you understand?

head knowledge doesn't equate to heart knowledge

heart knowledge equates to understanding and applying

when you think you understand,

how much do you actually understand?

recently i am very amazed at how infinite God's wisdom is and there is so much that we can learn even from verses or things that we already know.. as God never fails to shed a new light on the verses in the bible or situations in life.. maybe you would be thinking shouldn't you in the first place know how great is God's wisdom.. yeah i did know.. but to experience it right in your face is another thing.. lol..

an understanding came to me as i was walking back home.. "God reveals our weaknesses to us cos He wants us to grow in these weaknesses.. cos weakness equates to potential to grow in His sight.. the more we get to know Him, the more He will reveal to us.. cos He knows we can take it and we will obey and change.. however, there is a step that we need to take as He reveals our weaknesses to us.. which is to acknowledge and face up to it.. then make the choice to change.. meaning that it takes conscious effort to do so.." indeed, we play a part too.. we need to make the choice.. then we will truly learn the lessons and grow in our weaknesses.. i would not dare to say that this understanding has totally translated from head knowledge to heart knowledge.. but i would say it surely have change my mindset in growing out of my revealed weaknesses..

Head or Heart knowledge?
