Not all who wander are lost
It might be better to use the word apprehend than comprehend.The idea that we cannot perceive, receive, and comprehend God is a religious and pious-sounding thing. But it does not have an actual practical application in our faith and, in fact, is detrimental and counterproductive to our faith and growth.
Comprehend means a complete or full understanding.
Apprehend means that we have a hold on something.
We can know things about God, but the very fact that he is infinite and we are not means that we can never comprehend him.
Further, I think this is actually a great thing, and probably the primary thing that prevent eternity from becoming boring. We are made for mystery, to seek and to find. If we found everything, we would lose the pleasure of discovery. God is the ultimate answer to the paradox that human beings love mysteries and love to solve mysteries. God is the mystery that we can solve for all ages of ages. There is always more to experience and more to know. Only infinity can provide eternal satiation of the desire to know.
