Charity Beyond Knowledge

Neville's Inner Vision

Knowledge puffs up the ego, but charity edifies the heart that God inhabits. When you declare you know something, you are measuring the surface; true knowing begins when you love God and surrender to the I AM within. The verse shows that being known by God is not earned by clever argument but by a heart kept faithful in love. I am not defined by external doctrines or opinions, but by the inner posture: I choose to love God, and in that choice I am seen by the I AM that animates my being. When I dwell in that love, the sense of separation between thinker and known dissolves, and the Self simply knows Itself as the beloved who loves. The moment I rest in that attitude, 'being known of Him' becomes a present reality, not a future credential. The only knowledge that endures is knowledge of God experienced as love, a knowledge that changes how I live, as I align my inner world with the divine awareness by which I am known.
