"God will invade. But I wonder whether people who ask God to interfere openly and directly in our world quite realise what it will be like when He does. When that happens, it is the end of the world. When the author walks on to the stage the play is over."

even so…
“There comes a moment when the children who have been playing at burglars hush suddenly: was that a real footstep in the hall? There comes a moment when people who have been dabbling in religion (Man’s search for God) suddenly draw back. Supposing we really found Him?"

Mad crazy day at the end of a mad crazy week. Refocused back on God today and these Stormzy lyrics sum life up beautifully tonight: You saved this kid and I'm not your first
It's not by blood and it's not by birth
But oh my God what a God I serve ☝️
“We can ignore even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”

"There comes a moment when people who have been dabbling in religion (‘Man’s search for God!’) suddenly draw back. Supposing we really found Him? We never meant it to come to that! Worse still, supposing He had found us?”

@solar_bud I read the former as the moment of turning back to God, to the light, and away from the darkness which it was in previously. A personal darkness to which I will not return. It is the light that lights the way through darkness to come.
“We have One, mightier than [the Nine Riders of the Dark Lord]: the White Rider. He has passed through the fire and the abyss, and they shall fear him. We will go where he leads.” —Aragorn #LotR@JRRTolkien
@solar_bud It is. I dread to think how much time I’ve sunken into social media. Terrifying...a total break is so worth doing if only just to prove to yourself that you can do it!
