By giving and receiving

Under the image of the Trinity we discover that we do not know God by defining Him but by being loved by Him and loving in return. The consequences of this are personally
revelatory: another does not know me, nor do I know another, by defining or explaining, by categorizing or psychologizing, but only relationally, by accepting
and loving, by giving and receiving.
