Today's devotion talks about two concepts: of God's transcendence and His immanence. I've always found the distinction helpful. -- drs
Even though God is glorious, he is still intimate. God is high and yet low, enormous and yet within us, awesome and yet loveable. Will we ever cease being ignorant of God? When we advise people to look for God in their own hearts, they are as mystified as if we had told them to look in some unexplored territory in a distant land.
A personal response
Command me, Forbid me. What do you want me to do? What do you want me to refrain from doing? Whether I am lifted up or cast down, comforted or suffering, working for you or doing nothing worthwhile, I continue to love you. I yield my will to you. With Mary I say, "May it be to me as you have said." (Luke 1:38)
