Jeanne Guyon (1648 - 1717)
















... What do I mean by the law of central tendency? As you continue holding your soul deep in your inward parts, you will discover that God has a magnetic attracting quality! Your God is like a magnet! The Lord naturally draws you more and more toward Himself.

The next thing you notice is this: As you move toward the center, the Lord also purifies you of all the things that are not of Him.

This is illustrated in nature. Observe the ocean. The water in the ocean begins to evaporate. Then the vapor begins moving toward the sun. As the vapor leaves the earth, it is full of impurities; however as it ascends, it becomes more refined and more purified ...

There is one difference between your soul and those vapors. Although the vapor can only be passive,  you have the privilege of cooperating voluntarily with the Lord as He draws you inwardly towards Himself.
