Jealous for Love

I realize "a real danger in our study 'about' God. When we tame him, in words and concepts, and file him away under alphabetized characteristics, we can easily lose the force of the passionate relationship God seeks above all else. There may be no greater danger to those who write, talk, or even think about God. Mere abstractions, to him, may be the cruelest insult of all" (Yancey, Just Wondering).

Could it be that God is not so much impressed with our analyzing him as he is with being loved?
