Our Idea of God – Thomas Merton

Food for thought as I prepare for sleep. Thomas Merton speaks to me today and to the world today just as he did fifty years ago ❤️❤️

In all the situations of life the “will of God” comes to us not merely as an external dictate of impersonal law but above all as an interior invitation of personal love… Our idea of God tells us more about ourselves than about God. We must learn to realize that the love of God seeks us in every situation, and seeks our good. — Thomas Merton in “Silence, Joy”
