Loneliness

I bear withness that he who hath known Ye hath known God. Thou didst lift their parched lips to the water of union. Thou dost calm their pain with the balm of Thy bounty and grace. At the innermost core of all loneliness is a deep and powerful yearning for union with one’s lost self. The darkness of this gloomy night shall pass away. Again the sun of reality will dawn from the horizon of the heart. Have patience. I am nearer than you think, richly present in all your moments. Ask Me to open your eyes, so that you can find me everywhere. This is a broken winged bird and his filght is very slow. Assist him that he may fly toward the apex of prosperity and salvation. Thou hearest the sigh of those who, though they long to behold Thy face, are yet separated from Thee. Oh Lord, the ocean of rebellion is surging, and these tempests will not be stilled, save through Thy boundless grace.
