Following is a quote from Thomas Merton. Wow. Once again, he hit it on the nose. Another great reminder of where I need to abide ... all the time.

“There is a stage in the spiritual life in which we find God in ourselves – this presence is a created effect of His love. It is a gift of His, to us. It remains in us. All the gifts of God are good. But if we rest in them, rather than in Him, they lose their goodness for us. So with this gift also.”
