When I discover God

When I discover God in Himself, I see the living, growing and glowing God. When I discover God in me, I see the starving, sleeping and crying God. When I discover God in Himself, He is the eternal Wonder. When I discover God in me, He is the eternal Mystery.

I discover God's infinite Power and cry out: "Give me Your infinite Power." God says: "It is yours."

God discovers my limitless weakness and cries out: "Give Me your limitless weakness." I say: "No, my wealth, absolutely mine."

God fails, I win. God fails to illumine me. I win to destroy me.
