“If thou could'st empty all thyself of self
Like to a shell dishabited
Then might He find thee on the ocean shelf
And say This is not dead and fill thee with Himself instead.

But thou art all replete with very thou
And hast such shrewd activity
That when He comes He says This is enow Unto itself - 'twere better let it be
It is so small and full there is no room for me.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, A Ring of Endless Light

“There is no avoiding the fact that we live at the mercy of our ideas This is never more true than with our ideas about God.”
― Dallas Willard, Hearing God: Developing a Conversational Relationship with God
