"In reality, all of our images of God are flawed. Our minds are too small
to comprehend God accurately, and our experiences are too likely to distort our thinking. But knowing God and knowing about Him are crucially
important for our growth as believers and our effectiveness as Christian
counselors. Theologian James I. Packer has even argued that knowing God is at the core of why we exist."

think about the One who would receive your letter, what would He be like?

"In counseling, our worldviews determine how we think about human
nature, evaluate the causes of emotional problems, decide on treatment
strategies, and evaluate counseling progress. If we have a worldview that is
limited or inaccurate, we can make a lot of mistakes in counseling and bring
harm instead of healing."

"As we begin to understand what God is like, we begin to comprehend
why there can be no absolute proof of His existence. God is supreme and far greater than any methods that we might use in an attempt to demonstrate His existence. There are no authorities greater than God to which we can appeal, and He is not confined to any of our methods."
