Thomas Merton wrote...


'... mysticism tends to inspire apprehension even in religious minds. Why? because the mystic must surrender to a power of love that is greater than human and advance towards God in a darkness that goes beyond the light of reason and of human conceptual knowledge.' This is only a small piece that he wrote in an introduction to a book. Mysticism is alive and well in the Bride today and not just in monasteries and nunneries, nor is it practised by just special saintly people, but every baptised believer in Jesus can tap into the river of His love and get carried away on a journey without charts, or maps, but with the rudder of His love. God is more passionate about us than we realise. He yearns for fellowship and friendship. We are created to dwell in the very heart of the Godhead. Lets find more of His time to be with Him alone. Every thought directed to Him is an admission of His indwelling presence. I am learning what Jesus meant when he said ... unless you become as little children, you cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
