To love you as I should, I must worship God as Creator.

That thing is Freedom: the gift whereby ye most resemble your Maker and are yourselves part of eternal reality.

There have been times when I think we do not desire heaven but more often I find myself wondering whether, in our heart of hearts, we have ever desired anything else.

It was when I was happiest that I longed most...The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing...to find the place where all the beauty came from.

Where, except in uncreated light, can the darkness be drowned?

The next moment is as much beyond our grasp, and as much in God's care, as that a hundred years away. Care for the next minute is as foolish as care for a day in the next thousand years. In neither can we do anything, in both God is doing everything.

We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us.
