Truth, Wisdom, and Love

(Julian of Norwich - found here)

“Truth sees God, and wisdom contemplates God, and from these two comes the third, which is a holy, marvelous delight in God, which is love. Where truth and wisdom truly are, there is love, truly coming from them both, and all of God’s making. For he is endless supreme truth, endless supreme wisdom, endless supreme love, uncreated; and man’s soul is a creature in God, which has the same properties, but created . . . it sees God, it contemplates God, and it loves God: and so God rejoices in the creature, and the creature in God, endlessly marveling; in which marveling he sees his God, his Lord, his maker, so high, so great, and so good in comparison with him who is made that the creature seems scarcely anything to himself; but the clarity and the purity of truth and wisdom make him see and recognize that he is made for love, in which God endlessly sustains him.”
~Julian of Norwich
