The entire world is not worthy of a man's thought, for this belongs to God alone; any thought, therefore, not centered on God is stolen from Him.---St. John of the Cross, Maxims and Councils
Pretty radical thought from St. John of the Cross.
Did he really mean every thought?
I think so.
We are faced with an incredibly deep ocean.
God is not easily understood or embraced.
Yet, He uses the most intimate words to reach our tattered hearts.
Longing, grace, love, hope, peace, mercy, forgiveness, knowing, Jesus wept
i often steal thoughts from God and i find these stolen thoughts are usually wasted on myself
on my shallow desires and ideas
but this is all we have to work with in this valley of tears
being thankful and grateful in all things is where we start returning those stolen thoughts
