How would you then describe "direct personal experience"?

Jesus loves me, this I know, for the bible tells me so

Before I used the words 'awe' and 'wonder'. These would be good examples of direct personal experience. Somewhat extreme, but fitting: the kind of thing you would say, "I can't put it into words, but..." Love can be personally experienced too, yes?

Jesus loves me, this I know, for the bible tells me so

And you believe the Bible, so you know Jesus loves you because the bible says so. You also know Jesus loves you in a deeper, more personal, more direct way.
