Seeing More

"For here we are so blind and foolish that we never seek God until He, of His goodness, shows Himself to us. It is when we do see something of Him by his grace that we are stirred by that same grace to seek Him, and with earnest longing to see still more of His blessedness.

So I saw Him and sought him; I had Him and wanted Him. It seems to me that this is and should be an experience common to us all..."

~ Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)

Eternal Worth

The troubles and sorrows, caused by our perversity, the Lord Jesus takes, and lifts up to heaven where they are transformed to things of delight and pleasure greater than heart can think or tongue can tell. And when we get there ourselves we shall find them waiting for us changed into things of beautiful and eternal worth.

~ Julian of Norwich

Falling and Rising

If there is anywhere

on earth

a lover of God

who is always kept safe,

I know nothing of it,

for it was not shown to me.

But this was shown:

that in falling

and rising again

we are always kept

in that same

precious love.

~Julian of Norwich
