hi, tony! first, i thank you again for posting things that matter, that are uplifting. two things came to mind reading this quote. one, paul saying, let him who boasts boast in the Lord- for it is only by grace and not through effort that God touches us. two, what we find in rumi and hafez about the importance of longing- longing which is like an empty bowl, an empty bowl that God can fill. regarding the heart and meeting God there, this is how i understand it: God is spirit. and the heart is the seat of the spirit in us. therefore, it is logical (and confirmed in my experience) that spirit talks with, communicates with, spirit. be blessed. glen
Wonderfully Expressed.. It's said that you can seek for god is Silence.. but you mentioned “For silence is not God, nor speaking is God; .. The message conveyed is with intense faith. You cannot find god with you dont have love in your heart... Thanks you for sharing..
He is hid between them, and may not be found by any work of thy soul, but only by love of thine heart.......so true. God is by love in your heart. A beautiful spiritual poem so nicely executed.10
