Sometimes, it's better not knowing something rather than actually understanding. Knowledge can be an gift, or it can be a penalty. You may gain from it, or you may shatter from hopelessness. In Scripture it says that knowledge will be "destroyed," and that it is "incomplete." But aren't we also told to "look/ask/seek for it?"
How can knowledge be useful?
1 Cor 13:8-12- "For if there are prophecies they will be fulfilled and done with, if there are 'tongues' the need for them will disappear, if there is knowledge it will be swallowed up in truth. For our knowledge is always incomplete and our prophecy is always incomplete, and when the complete comes, that is the end of the incomplete. When I was a little child I talked and felt like a little child. Now that I am a man I am finished with childish things. At present we are men looking at puzzling reflections in a mirror. The time will come when we shall see reality whole and face to face! At present all I know is a small fraction of the truth, but the time will come when I shall know it as fully as God has known me!"
What does knowledge allow love to do?
Prov 24:3-4 "By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures."
What is love without knowledge? Let's say there is a story of a girl named, say, Mrs. Hoard. She is an ignorant, but loving mother. She feeds her children an all meat diet, because she believes meat is the best kind of food. One day she gains some important knowledge after reading a nutrition guide, and she starts buying a mixture of food types for her children. As a result her children become healthier.
Question: Did this mother love her children more before or after she gained the knowledge? Hmmm... The same! But until the knowledge, her love was even . Knowledge that is true allows love to blossom into good fruit.Hos 4:6 "My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge."
The TRUTH about knowledge: Jam 1:17 "Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow." Regardless, knowledge comes from the BIG MAN ABOVE. Not from society. Not from a friend. Not from a parent. The good knowledge at least. Don't listen to anyone else but your heart. If your are in the right place, then your heart should be an intimate place where the Lover of your Soul speaks to you. Yes, sometimes it is best not knowing things. That is, knowing BAD things. This brings us to the point of how everything happens for a reason. You know things for a reason, and you don't know things for a reason. All in all, leave it up to Him. He will give you the right knowledge you ask for. Persevere for wisdom given from His Hands alone.
