Running to your embrace



Image result for Evelyn Underhill prayers

‘Let our lives run to Your embrace… and breathe the breath of Eternity. O God Supreme! Most secret and most present, most beautiful and strong. Constant yet Incomprehensible, changeless yet changing all! What can I say, my God, my Life, my Holy Joy… You are the only reality…’ - Evelyn Underhill

Thank you Lord for the gift of being able to come to you in prayer, any time and in any circumstance.

John 17:20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,

Big enough?

Image result for Is your God Big enough?

Out of all the works of Christian Mystic Evelyn Underhill I love this quote the most:

“If God were small enough to be understood, He would not be big enough to be worshipped.”

Is it not true that in trying to reduce God to a size that will be manageable for us to understand, we slowly lose the magnificence of God's glory, power and might? If we want a God that is so small that he will fit into our tiny minds, then he would not be worth worshipping at all.

Psalm 99:1-3 (The Message)
"God rules. On your toes, everybody! He rules from his angel throne—take notice! God looms majestic in Zion, He towers in splendour over all the big names. Great and terrible your beauty: let everyone praise you! Holy. Yes, holy."

Here is another lovely message from Evelyn. Enjoy.

"God is much in the difficult home problems as in the times of quiet and prayer."

May you be blessed today.
