Adrienne Von Speyr


nothingness, limitedness, grace and GOD


... man's nothingness is overcome. It has been absorbed into holiness.  This indivisibility is GRACE, and it comes from GOD. GOD takes care of His own to the point of completely enveloping and covering them with His grace. But they are not buried underneath it, not lose their distinctive face, not paralyzed by the weight of an excessive giving.

Rather GRACE permeates, saturates and SETS AGLOW their entire being and places them in a new physical condition. ...

Limitedness,  does not stand in opposition to what GOD is and is capable of. After all, GOD created man in His image, and

an image can not be in contradiction to what it represents. ...
