Higher and Deeper

 

(Found here)

“You do very well, O soul, to seek him ever as one hidden, for you exalt God immensely and approach very near him when you consider him higher and deeper than anything you can reach. . . . I mean that you should never desire satisfaction in what you understand about God, but in what you do not understand about him. Never stop with loving and delighting in your understanding and experience of God, but love and delight in what is neither understandable nor perceptible of him. Such is the way, as we said, of seeking him in faith. However surely it may seem you find, experience, and understand God, you must, because he is inaccessible and concealed, always regard him as hidden, and serve him who is hidden in a secret way.”

~St. John of the Cross
