I do not comprehend all that I am. Is the mind, therefore, too limited to possess itself?

Divine Scripture is wont to frame, as it were, allurements for children from the things which are found in the creature; whereby, according to their measure, and as it were by steps, the affections of the weak may be moved to seek those things that are above, and to leave those things that are below. But the same Scripture rarely employs those things which are spoken properly of God, and are not found in any creature; as, for instance, that which was said to Moses, I am that I am; and, I Am has sent me to you."

Lord Jesus, don't let me lie when I say that I love you.....and protect me, for today I could betray you.

When I am completely united to You, there will be no more sorrow or trials; entirely full of You, my life will be complete.

If you are pleased with what you are, you have stopped already. If you say, "It is enough," you are lost. Keep on walking, moving forward, trying for the goal.

Remember this. When people choose to withdraw far from a fire, the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold. When people choose to withdraw far from light, the light continues to be bright in itself but they are in darkness. This is also the case when people withdraw from God.

Trust the past to the mercy of God, the present to His love, and the future to His providence.
