“God, whose love and joy are present everywhere, can’t come to visit you unless you aren’t there.”

can’t come to visit you unless you aren’t there.”

— Angelus Silesius

I am nothing

Standing on the bare ground,

Let us not desert our own work, our own God within us, to gaze or pattern after our neighbor.

Let us not seek to make his gift ours; let us not criticize his failure to manifest any specific gift. Whenever he "fails," give thanks to God that He is leading him up into a higher place, where there can be a fuller and more complete manifestation of the divine presence through him. Emilie Cady Lessons In Truth: Spiritual Gifts CH 11.36.

 Distrust nobody.
