God is perceived by the heart, not by your reason. But what is reason? Your heart simplifying God’s guidance to fit your own needs.

About This Quote

God is perceived by the heart, not by your reason. When people read the Bible, they often find that the language used makes God seem a lot more personal than they had expected. For example, in the book of Genesis, where God creates man and woman out of the ground and breathes life into them, we often hear the word “God” used instead of “Creator.” When hearing these words, people tend to think that God is more like a family member or a friend than like a distant Creator. Many people feel like they can relate to Him because He seems like a kind and loving father.
