I love you so much! Bless your immaculate name, Oh Lord. Sweet Jesus, guide me. Sweet Jesus, bless me. Sweet Jesus, fill me with your heavenly fragrance! How I love thee. ❤️
You move mountains with a whisper, stir up hurricanes with your pinky, paint a sunset with your kiss.
You heal my brokenness with sympathy, you teach me the futility of all that is not of you, and you guide my heart into your kingdom of peace. Thank you!
Kiss me lord, stir me lord, whisper in my heart.
Nothing is good unless it comes from you.
When I was young and without true wisdom, I thought it was good to love something for its own sake. I thought, “The Lord has made it, and it is good in and of itself, so I should love it for itself. Those who see it only as good because it shows God’s goodness limit its true worth. For truly, He made it for itself.”
But now I am filled with your wisdom, and I know such thoughts are vain. I know that just because you poured Yourself into it, fully and without reserve, forming it for itself, does not mean it stands apart from you now. All that you created has come from your surplus of love for the son and the spirit, and all you made reminds you of the sweetness of them. Why can it not do the same for me?
And I know too, now, of the increase in love and joy that comes from admiring something for your sake. How I love thee, how I love thee more each day, and how I revel in the joy of discovering you anew in all that you have made! It adds a beauty of the personal to every detail of your creation. I kiss thee when I kiss the blossoms. I embrace thee when I climb the branches, I depend on thee when I consume the vegetables. You are beauty and goodness itself!
