words from a good friend...

"We need to know how small creation is, and to count all things that are made as nothing, if we are to love and have God who is not created. For this is the reason we are not at rest in heart and soul- that here we seek rest in things that are so little there is no rest in them- and we do not know our God who is all-mighty, all-wise, and all-good. For He is true rest.

God's will is that we know Him, and it rejoices Him when we rest in Him. For all that is less than Him cannot satisfy us.

God, of your goodness, give me yourself, for you are enough for me. There is nothing less I can ask that is worthy of you, and if I ask for anything less I shall be always lacking, for only in you I have all." -Julian of Norwich
