With all the activity surrounding Very Grateful this week, I share this message from Julian of Norwich in the hopes that I will pay attention to it. Maybe you don’t need Julian right now in your life, but I do.
“God is nearer to us than our own soul. For He is the Ground in whom our soul stands; and He is the Means which keeps substance and sense nature together, so that they shall never part. For our soul sits in God in very rest, and our soul stands in God in sure strength; and our soul is kindly rooted in God in endless love. And therefore, if we want to have knowing of our Soul, and communion and loving with it, we need to seek into our God, in whom it is enclosed.”
