To Know God

I pull the following from my personal journal 2 February 2024.

To know God. This drives my whole being, to let nothing sully my view, my understanding of the unknowable knowable God who made the whole world and all that is, the origin of being itself, to stand before him or fall as may be the truest place before him. Oh, that he would reveal himself beyond the actions of a day and take me into his chambers, and that I may learn of him for to know him is life itself.

Life itself. The settled place where the world’s distraction has been fully diminished in God’s manifold radiance, where I begin, just begin, to savor his perfection, where the ugliness of so many things is clearly dross, and beauty is seen full face.

Yes, I want to know God.
