"She is with me. And you, Abraham, son of Maren, remain alive to choose."

This line, in lieu of everything that happened leading to the death of the woman who loved him, left me with goosebumps. The author beautifully weaves eternity into the narrative, reminding us that this life is only a shadow of what awaits.

A grayheaded man sat on the sand, weeping. “What ails you, sir?” I asked. “Are you forsaken?” “I weep,” he answered, “because they will not let me die. I have been to the house of death, and its mistress, notwithstanding my years, refuses me. Intercede for me, sir, if you know her.” “Nay, sir,” I replied, “that I cannot; for she refuses none whom it is lawful for her to receive."
wow! This really spoke to me!!

"What was she seeing? I looked, and saw: before her, cast from unseen heavenly mirror, stood the reflection of herself, and beside it a form of splendent beauty. She trembled, and sank again on the floor helpless. She knew the one what God had intended her to be, the other what she had made herself."

Oh, there is so depth there! Wow

“I am no slave, for I love that light, and will with the deeper will which created mine. There is no slave but the creature that wills against its creator. Who is a slave but her who cries, ‘I am free,’ yet cannot cease to exist!”

Amid all this chaos of a confused society, Christ comes quietly as of old & invites us to come to Him. He invites us to follow Him. He invites us to put our confidence in Him. For He it is who best knows how we can be satisfied. He knows that the human heart, the human personality, the human soul with its amazing capacity for God can never be satisfied with a substitute. only the spirit & life of Christ will satisfy.

When my eyes are on my Master they are not on those around me. this is the place of peace.

"I am completely satisfied with His management of my life. Why? Because He is the sheepman to whom no trouble is too great as He cares for His flock. He is the rancher who is outstanding because of His fondness for sheep — Who loves them for their own sake as well as His personal pleasure in them. He will, if necessary, be on the job twenty-four hours a day to see that they are properly provided for in every detail."

"Contentment should be the hallmark of the man or woman who has put his or her affairs in the hands of God."

"His ownership of me as a human being is legitimate - simply because it is He who brought me into being and no one is better able to understand or care for me. I belong to Him simply because He deliberately chose to create me as the object of His own affection."

"The soul is a paradise where the Lord finds His delight."
