I am just in love with God

[Miss Hepburn]

I'm back.
I always loved this forum.
I got caught up in a couple other forums for years, oh well...I'm still in love even more
with God.
I didn't know where exactly I wanted to post first...this section seemed like it was for me.:)

Sigh, this will be a start for me to be here again...my love and understanding of God has increased so much.
He has revealed even more to me since I was last here.

Back later...;) I swoon for Him. You?

Welcome back.

 

[Miss Hepburn]

"Welcome back."
Are you sweet or what...

 

[mjrhealth]

Welcome back with a big Smile and hug, love people who love God...

Back later...;) I swoon for Him. You?

He swoons for me and the more I find out how much He swoons for me, I swoon back.

 

[Miss Hepburn]

He swoons for me and the more I find out how much He swoons for me, I swoon back.

Oh my....the Divine Romance! ♥

CONSUMED IN GRACE

I first saw God when I was a child, six years of age.
the cheeks of the sun were pale before Him,
and the earth acted as a shy
girl, like me.

Divine light entered my heart from His love
that did never fully wane,

though indeed, dear, I can understand how a person’s
faith can at time flicker,

for what is the mind to do
with something that becomes the mind’s ruin:
a God that consumes us
in His grace.

I have seen what you want;
it is there,

a Beloved of infinite
tenderness.

-St. Catherine of Siena 14thc

I have decided to give this it's due:

He swoons for me
And the more I find out how much He swoons for me,
I swoon back.

Lord, you are my lover, my longing, my flowing stream, my sun, and I am your reflection. - Mechthild of Magdeburg.

 

[aspen]

That prayer has great power which a person makes with all his might. It makes a sour heart sweet, a sad heart merry, a poor heart rich, a foolish heart wise, a timid heart brave, a sick heart well, a blind heart full of sight, a cold heart ardent. It draws down the great God into the little heart; it drives the hungry soul up into the fullness of God; it brings together two lovers, God and the soul, in a wondrous place where they speak much of love. - Mechthild of Magdeburg

 

[aspen]

Contemplation is nothing else but a secret, peaceful, and loving infusion of God, which, if admitted, will set the soul on fire with the Spirit of love. - St. John of the Cross
