The Eye With Which I See God

Man Goes Far Away Or Near But God Never Goes Far-off; He Is Always Standing Close At Hand, And Even If He Cannot Stay Within He Goes No Further Than The Door.

God Must Act And Pour Himself Into You The Moment He Finds You Ready. Don't Imagine That God Can Be Compared To An Earthly Carpenter, Who Acts Or Doesn't Act, As He Wishes; Who Can Will To Do Something Or Leave It Undone, According To His Pleasure. It Is Not That Way With God: Where And When God Finds You Ready, He Must Act And Overflow Into You, Just As When The Air Is Clear And Pure, The Sun Must Overflow Into It And Cannot Refrain From Doing That.

Treat All Things As If They Were Loaned To You Without Any Ownership - Whether Body Or Soul, Sense Or Strength, External Goods Or Honors, House Or Hall . . . Everything.

The Love By Which We Love God Is The Very Same Love With Which God Has First Loved Us.
