What do we have of God apart from words about God?

‎"Center your life in God. Not in statements about God, or conventions about God, but in God."

God is like the Internet; all we have are words, sentences, statements.  It is my observation that many people simple live as they please and as it suits them to live and then make their concept of God and salvation and forgiveness conform to their lifestyle. If God were an infinite circle then its center would be everywhere and its circumference would be nowhere. In Euclidean geometry if point A is distance x from point B then point B is that same distance x from A, but in spiritual geometry though God is equally close to each person not every person is close to God. But still, it all boils down to words.  There is an old Zen saying: "Show me the person who has forgotten language; it is with such a person that I desire to converse."
