"Every one of us has had experiences which we have not been able to explain - a sudden sense of loneliness, or a feeling of wonder or awe in the face of the universal vastness. Or we have had a fleeting visitation of light like an illumination from some other sun, giving us in a quick flash an assurance that we are from another world, that our origins are divine. What we saw there, or felt, or heard, may have been contrary to all that we had been taught in the schools and at wide variance with all our former beliefs and opinions. We were forced to suspend our acquired doubts while, for a moment, the clouds were rolled back and we saw and heard for ourselves. Explain such things as we will, I think we have not been fair to the facts until we allow at least the possibility that such experiences may arise from the presence of God in the world and His persistent effort to communicate with mankind.”
- A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God
Vinna emailed the CG this quote.
It's so deep it cuts.
It's so true I feel my heart hanging.
A. W. Tozer is such a genius, putting into words what I can't about those moments where I literally felt "a sudden sense of loneliness, or a feeling of wonder or awe in the face of the universal vastness".
It's good to know that there's someone out there who understands how you feel, who felt it before you did, who thinks weirdly like you do.
