"And thus is Man's Soul made by God and in the same point knit to God."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 53)
How are we one with God, knit to God, from our creation? It is God's very breath that He breathes into us to give us life. It is God's very image that is the basis of our creation. It is God's own substance that we are from, God's own love that is the core of our nature. It is God's own love bonds us together. For He is our true Father, the true Source of the human race, the endless Lover of our souls. He is so much in every part of our creation that we are truly knit to Him and entwined with Him from the very beginning of our existence. So we can see that we have never been alone in this life, to fend for ourselves. We have always had an inner Source of peace, strength, hope and companionship. We have always had a Friend along the way, a Friend going with us through every situation in our lives, a Friend closer than a brother and dearer than the person dearest to us in this world. He was always there, the One we could turn to and share our deepest hopes and fears, the One who would listen without judgment and always accept us, the One who would never let us down. He has been the Friend in the background of our lives all along, supporting us, sending beauty and help our way, smiling at us through the sunrises, caring for us through the love of a pet or a family member, doing all those numberless things to bring joy to our lives. He was here all along, inside us, and we are so knit and entwined together in love that we are one forever. It is just as He planned it long ages ago, to be within us as our Friend who would always be there for us no matter what and never fail us, never let us go.
"You will be there to guide me; Your right hand will embrace me, for You are always there."
Psalm 139:10 (VOICE)
"God has said, 'I will never leave you or let you be alone.'"
Hebrews 13:5 (NLV)
A Prayer: Thank You for all the times You have loved and helped me, even when I was not aware of it. Thank You for always being there for me, inside. You are the Friend I have always wanted!
