"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight..."How many times do we pray, "God, make me love You/my boss/myself more"? But this is not how the process works for Paul. Love is the byproduct of knowledge; truly, to know Jesus better is to love Him more. In this life, we make the effort to get to know those we love, and the same is true for God: if we want to love Him more, we need to know Him better!
Recently, I've found Spurgeon's Morning and Evening reflections helpful in knowing God better; you can read an entire year's worth of content free here. Just remember that nothing beats the word for getting to know the Word!
