Carry Him close…
Ignatius of Loyola, a great spiritual
figure in the church’s history, had
this quote attributed to him:
“Those who carry God in their
hearts, bear heaven with them
wherever they go.”
This was a God moment for me. Last
Sunday, when Jesus was talking
about the kingdom of heaven, I
came to this very conclusion, that
the kingdom of heaven is very close,
and very real.
If we understand God to be far, far
away, then we may be tempted
to leave God alone, while we do
just about whatever we want to do.
Instead, we must know
God is here,
God is real,
and God’s love
is what holds
us together.
“Those who carry God in their hearts,
bear heaven with them wherever
they go.”
What a lovely thought.
Moving to the deeper places,
