Do not dissect things too much. By the time you have dissected a living thing you have killed it, and you no longer have the thing that you began with. Take a rose out of the bowl, pull its petal apart, count them, weigh them, measure them, and then, while you will have certain interesting information, you no longer have a rose.
There is a place for analysis, but it is apt to be quite fatal in prayer and meditation. Do not dissect the love of God, but feel it. Do not dissect divine intelligence, but realize it. Do not wonder how God can possibly solve this problem, but just watch Him do it in His own way – and He will if you will give Him a chance.
You know that God is Love. So go ahead on that, and do not get theoretical about it.
Do you remember the old verse that says:
A centipede was happy quite,
Until a frog in fun
Said, “Pray, which leg comes after which?”
This raised her mind to such a pitch,
She lay distracted in the ditch,
Considering how to run.
The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him: and all the upright in heart shall glory (Psalm 64:10).
Instead of dissecting and wondering, let us realize, observe and feel the love of God in our lives. It is fine to ponder and seek to understand God, but if this becomes an obstacle to our faith or a distraction from it, then it is not fine.
It is also fine to have doubts and questions about our faith and how to live it. It is not okay to let that doubt or those questions block us from following the will of God or accepting his solutions to our problems.
The true answer to all questions is faith. Have it and find the path; lose it and miss the path.
In faith,
