Revelations of Divine Love
The Fifth Chapter
Paragraphs 1 and 2
"In this same time our Lord shewed me a .. sight of his homely loving.
I saw that he is to us everything that is good and comfortable for us. He is our clothing that for love wrappeth us, claspeth us, and all becloseth us for tender love, that he may never leave us; being to us all-thing that is good, as to mine understanding."
The whole of this chapter is incredibly beautiful (the chapters are very short).
The Thirty-Ninth Chapter
Paragraph 4
".. our courteous Lord willeth not that his servants despair, for often nor for grievous falling: for our falling letteth not him from loving us. Peace and love are ever in us, being and working; but we be not always in peace and in love. But he willeth that we take heed thus that he is Ground of all our whole life in love; and furthermore that he is our everlasting keeper ......"
These are the two quotes which have meant the most to me but the whole book is full of similar beauty.
I hope these may have given a small taste of the love and consolation which is to be found within its pages.
