...desire truth and goodness, for desire fits one to receive what one desires...

There is God, the Supreme Spirit. We can know almost nothing about Him; we can know that He exists by reason; so far as He can be revealed to our finite minds at all, He is revealed by Christ. We can't receive much--picture a child of four asking how to drive a car; you wouldn't attempt to explain the works of it, you'd show him "You press this, you turn that," and so on. What you tell him is true, but it is by no means the truth as you know it. So it is with God and us; we can't all arrive at the same conclusion about God by ourselves, because any, or almost any, ideas we can conceive with finite minds about Infinity must be wrong, or at least very far short of Truth--but since Truth, God, is not something composed by us, made up of our ideas, but is absolute and real, we can all agree about Him if we accept His Revelation of Himself. But if not, then we cannot; not only nations cannot, but two in one family cannot. But you don't say "believe in God in the same way," but "apprehend Him"; well, that we all do differently, for apprehending is an inner knowledge; it is intimate and personal; it is like putting out your hand in the dark and finding someone else's hand stretched out to you, and somehow knowing that this is the hand of one you love.
