deeply loved

(from my other blog: june 11, 2008)

"The splendor of a human heart which trusts that it is loved gives God more pleasure than Westminster Cathedral, the Sistine Chapel, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Van Gogh's Sunflowers, the sight of ten thousand butterflies in flight, or the scent of a million orchids in bloom.


Trust is our gift back to God, and he finds it so enchanting that Jesus died for love of it."

- Brennan Manning


It's a great mystery to me why sometime's you feel God's love more on certain days than others. Not that the feeling is what reminds me that I'm loved, but feeling with every part of your being that you are loved, beyond a shadow of a doubt makes everything else melt away in a way that is indescribable.
