From Julian of Norwich on 'ease of heart' and 'seeking God'

Revelations of Divine Love

The Fifth Chapter

..... this is the cause why we be not all in ease of heart and soul: that we seek here rest in those things that be so little, wherein is no rest, and know not our God that is Almighty, All-wise, All-good. For he is the Very Rest.     .............

Also our Lord God shewed that it is full great pleasance to him that a silly soul come to him nakedly and plainly and homely. For this is the kind yearnings of the soul, ..........."God, of thy Goodness, give me thyself: for thou art enough to me, and I may nothing ask that is less, that may be full worship to thee; and if I ask anything that is less, ever me wanteth,--but only in thee I have all."

And these words are full lovesome to the soul, and full near touch they the will of God and his Goodness.   ..........For he is the endlessness, and he hath made us only to himself, ..... and keepeth us in his blessed love; and all this is of his Goodness.
