Contemplative Thoughts

Contemplative Thoughts

Within the Spirit of God, one can completely feel free to absorb the genuineness of peace and know  grace has imbued the mind and heart.  One may sense and feel the hand of God: with comfort, supplication, and a divine sense of being in a cloud of sensitivity that can only come from the Heart of Jesus .

Allowing oneself to be absorbed by a spirit of consolation one then is able to ride the waves of emptiness into the realm of God felt by the saints.  This becomes a journey of Divinity known by God and shared by all his creatures, those only who are open to the Eternal Grace of the Triune God.

Listen to the words of God, “My spirit lives within you” but how is that possible I ask?  We live in a world that is full of mysteries because of the Omnipotence of God, that never had a beginning and will live forever because He is God.  Can man understand that which is beyond our comprehension?  Yes, if we allow our finiteness for a moment escape us and become absorbed within the infinite presence of Almighty God and His, for just a moment, opening our eyes feeling the emptiness of human reality floating on an everlasting sense of what heaven must be like.  This must be what many saints experienced as they entered into a period of ecstasy only available to detachment from human life to an angelic presence.  

This expose’ on feeling God’s presence in a deeply absorbed manner is something to desire but not many will actually experience it.  It has to be a surrendering of our desire to feel attachment to life’s  gratification that leaves no room for the real presence of a Triune God.  

One must unconsciously seek something without knowing what it is we want.  It is not our choice to search for it, it is God’s choice to bring our soul into his generous and loving heart.
