My Love For You, Lord, Is Not

Believe In Order To Understand And Understand In Order To Believe

Someone Who Knows Enough To Become The Owner Of A Tree, And Gives Thanks To You For The Benefits It Brings Him, Is In A Better State, Even If Ignorant Of Its Height In Feet And The Extent Of Its Spread, Than Another Who Measures And Counts All Its Branches But Neither Owns It Nor Knows Its Creator Nor Loves Him.

It Is He Who Gave To This Intellectual Nature Free-will Of Such A Kind, That If He Wishes To Forsake God His Blessedness, Misery Should Forthwith Result.

In My Deepest Wound I Saw Your Glory, And It Dazzled Me.

While The Best Men Are Guided By Love, Most Mean Are Still Goaded By Fear.
