Blog #13. God's light in us.

Thomas Merton, in Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander, wrote: “At the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin or by illusions, a point of pure truth, a point or spark which belongs entirely to God. It is never at our disposal, but from which God disposes our lives. It is inaccessible to the fantasies of our own mind or the brutalities of our own will. This little point of nothingness and of absolute poverty is the pure glory of God in us…. It is like a diamond, blazing with the invisible light of heaven.”
