Throughout church history there has always been a band of abandoned souls. Mystics, contemplatives, monks, nuns, radicals, call them what you will, by the grace of God; they have always been with us. Unless someone wrote about them we would never have known of their existence. So be encouraged in this. If your heart is fixed on the presence of God, and your highest motivation is to cultivate the relationship Jesus has offered you, if you are invisible to the world, invisible to the church, misunderstood, alone, and vulnerable. Delight in that. Daddy has got you covered with His robe of intimacy, and you can bask in the Glory Jesus has given you. You don't need the affirmation of man, the praise of the world, or anything else. Just place your cheek on the fathers bosom and drink of the fountain of His love.
