“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.” ShouldStillsShowsSeemsWantedCommonSawsGraceGoodnessBlindLongingFoolishEarnestBlessedness Author:Julian of Norwich

And in this love He hath done all His works; and in this love He hath made all things profitable to us; and in this love our life is everlasting.
