“Oh but to enjoy the person of God is to be ecstatically blinded by the beatific vision of God Himself. You can tell what is worthless to a person by how forgotten it is. The things of great value stay ever and always before us. The scornful man knows nothing of the delightful meditation upon the person of God.”

“Here is the problem: men would rather explain than adore. They would rather inquire than simply adore. Mary shows us that she is willing to worship Him despite not understanding. Certainly she had feelings and thoughts and questions about the situation—yet she was willing to throw them down, along with her own life, at the feet of Jesus. She is literally saying that Christ’s presence is more important than answers.”

“So many of us go into prayer and never actually touch God because we did everything but adore Him. Many people's spiritual senses are numbed in the closet by all the pressure they put on themselves to be there and accomplish something. Our itch to accomplish something stems from our desire for something other than just Him.”

“The enjoyment of God will cause us to “walk not in the counsel of the ungodly.” Dear reader, to live our lives in delight will preoccupy our souls from ever listening to the counsel of those who don’t obey God. Listening to His voice will deafen our ears to the whole system of this world: its values, its mind-sets, and its self-rule.”
