And I\u2019m sitting here in front of you like a young\u00a0man, sprout green and immature, and You gently and tenderly take me,<br \/>I can rest in Your presence, in Your love. Everything is suddenly filled with peace, peace beyond all imagination, peaceful\u00a0of loving understanding, loving tenderness, closeness, friendship.<br \/>I\u2019m where I should be. I was created for this. Teach me. Transform me. Turn me inside. \u201cI am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abide in me, and I in<br \/>it bears a lot of fruit; for without me, you can do nothing.\u201d (Jn 15: 5) An image of God seemed before my eyes as an age-like creature a tree, a living tree, a tree that has a face and eyes as deep as the Universe itself, which is ancient, older than the world, whose branches overgrow everything in a world that carries wisdom far beyond our imagination, who sees everything and has seen everything, remembers everything, holds everything, is on the one hand, it is foreign to all that is in this world because it is not of this world, and yet closer than anything that exists in this world, because it is everything the originator of it is in everything and carries and maintains everything. It is full of deep wisdom, deep compassion, and love, goodness, and tenderness. God is indeed the whole great actual Universe into which one can be immersed and delve deeper and deeper and never hit the limits of his miracles. The world in which it is possible to live forever and be blissful forever. He Is Heaven. That\u2019s why you are?<br \/>We are already choosing Him for our world; we are already choosing to live in Him. Is that so simple? And so fulfilling. Just break up with the world, let go of it and throw yourself without insurance in trust in depth.<br \/>\u201cI treat you and tenderly. I am the friend of your heart, the most faithful and the most compassionate of friends. Never doubt my friendship: it is unwavering. I want you to rest in the assurance of my love for you. \u201c(In Sinu Jesu) \u201cTrust your ways to the Lord and trust him, he will take care of him.\u201d (Ps. 37: 5). \u201cPut all your worries on him, for he cares for you.\u201d (1Pt 5,7)<\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You, Lord, are so ancient, so age-old, You are from ancient times, Your wisdom goes beyond my every understanding, and your kindness, compassion, understanding,mercy my every idea.
