The end, then, of love is no other than the union of the lover and the thing loved.

    That reminds me of these words from Julian of Norwich: ‘What is he, indeed, that is maker and lover and keeper? I cannot find words to tell. For until I am one with him I can never have true rest nor peace. I can never know it until I am held so close to him that there is nothing in between.’

    I love how God uses different people, through the ages, and reveals Himself in the same way, so very gently. :-)
