You are the soul, which is unlimited. Your soul is infinitely powerful. Your soul defies all time and space.

Both suffering and joy come then like a brief reflection, and death like a pin.

And it simply is not there.

You can always tell when someone has been beholding the glory of the Lord, because your inner spirit senses that he mirrors the Lord’s own character. Beware of anything that would spot or tarnish that mirror in you. It is almost always something good that will stain it- something good, but not what is best.

  Oswald Chambers
