BE KNOWN

To 'know thyself' (nosce teipsum) is, at least, something we can try for... After all, you are the subject and the object of this endeavor. You can think about you all day, every day, till you cease thinking and being...
 
And just when you think you know you, the sun sets and rises and there's a new you that you never knew, 'cause today's 'you' could not have been factored in yesterday...
 
We don't seem to take the same path with 'love', however.

We do not strive to find and hold and keep our true 'lovableness'. What we do is find and fall into the eyes of a Lover. In finding love, in being loved by Another, we believe ourselves to be 'lovable'. So to borrow from Socrates, we might ask: 'Is he loved because he is lovable, or is he lovable because he is loved?' (cf Eutyphro)
 
Well, anyone who has been loved or has loved, would not subject its truth to our comprehension of it. We live it, and breathe it, and lament the tragedy of any man, woman or child who loses it to questioning...
 
Throughout Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, God calls us to know him and to love him. In this pursuit of God, we come to know true love, and know our true self. Much like love, however, the more you know it in truth, the less words you will ever wrap around its definition and scope. This is the same for your own true self. The more you know God, the deeper you will know yourself, and the less you will strive to define who that is.
