Good morning. I just found these quotes which really touched me. Wanted to share them with you.
"Abandon all, you will receive heaven" (Anthony Bloom).
"But what are Thou to those who love Thee? what to those who serve Thee with their whole heart? Truly unspeakable is the sweetness of contemplating Thee, which Thou bestowest on them that love Thee. In this especially Thou has showed me the sweetness of Thy love: that when I was not, Thou madest me; when I went far astray from Thee, Thou broughtest me back again, that I might serve Thee and that Thou hast commanded me to Thee. . . .It not ought to seem much to serve Thee; but rather this doth appear much to me, and wonderful, that Thou vouchsafest to receive into Thy service one so poor and unworthy, and to make him one with Thy beloved servants" (Thomas a Kempis, OF THE IMITATION OF CHRIST).
I always say, dear friend, that God uses me in spite of myself.
Many Blessings, Ned OX
