Only by Faith and Love Are We Able to Glimpse Him

To think steadily of that to which the idea of origin cannot apply is not easy, if indeed it is possible at all.  Just as under certain conditions a tiny point of light can be seen, not by looking directly at it but by focusing the eyes slightly to one side, so it is with the idea of the Uncreated.  When we try to focus our thought upon One who is pure uncreated being we may see nothing at all, for He dwelleth in light that no man can approach unto.  Only by faith and love are we able to glimpse Him as He passes by our shelter in the cleft of the rock.  (A. W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy)
