We cover our deep ignorance with words, but we are ashamed to wonder, we are afraid to whisper ‘mystery.’

Do not try to imagine God, or you will have an imaginary God.

What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. For this reason the gravest question before the church is always God himself, and the most portentous fact about anyone is not what he at any given time may say or do, but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like. We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God. Were we to extract from anyone a complete answer to the question: 'What comes into your mind when you think about God?' we might predict with certainty the spiritual future of that man.

We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put an urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit.

To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul’s paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religionist, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart.
