A Spirit of Power

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

2 Timothy 1:7

Good things as well as bad, you know, are caught by a kind of infection…. You want to be warm, you must stand near a fire: if you want to be wet, you must get in the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them….They are a great fountain of energy spurting up out the very centre of reality. If you are close to it, the spray will wet you: if you are not you will remain dry. Once a man is united to God, how could he not live forever? Once separated from God, what can he do but wither and die?

Good health and every good blessing to you! Amen
