A five-minute Christian meditation and lectio divina practice on John 1:50-51, with a reading from Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love. Day 23 of the Unseen Existences series.
Scripture John 1:50–51 (NIV) Jesus said, "You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that." He then added, "Very truly I tell you, you will see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
Refrain God is nearer to me than my own soul.
Quote Julian of Norwich, from Revelations of Divine Love "God is nearer to us than our own soul, for he is ground in whom our soul stands, and he is the means that keeps the substance and the sensuality together so that it shall never depart. For our soul sits in God, in true rest, and our soul stands in God in sure strength, and our soul is naturally rooted in God, in endless love." Hosted on Acast.
