Favorite quotes:
Love is his meaning. God wants us to know that he loved us before he even made us, and this love has never diminished and never will. All his actions unfold from this love and through this love he makes everything that happens of value to us and in this love we find everlasting life. Our creation has a starting point, but the love in which he made us has no beginning, and this love is our true source. Thanks be to God.
Your God would never punish you for being a human being: this life itself is your penance...But it is also more than that: it is a crucible for transformation. Each trial, every loss, is an opportunity for you to meet suffering with love and make of it an offering, a prayer. The minute you lift your pain like a candle the darkness vanishes, and mercy comes rushing in to heal you.
Grace transforms our failings full of dread into abundant, endless comfort … our failings full of shame into a noble, glorious rising … our dying full of sorrow into holy, blissful life. …. Just as our contrariness here on earth brings us pain, shame and sorrow, so grace brings us surpassing comfort, glory, and bliss in heaven … And that shall be a property of blessed love, that we shall know in God, which we might never have known without first experiencing woe.
We need to fall, and we need to be aware of it; for if we did not fall, we should not know how weak and wretched we are of ourselves, nor should we know our Maker's marvellous love so fully.

A beautiful classic. A friend of mine recommended this to me years ago over coffee and I finally got around to reading it. The writings in this book have a wonderful way of bringing new life to your understanding of Christ. It is no doubt that Julian of Norwich was madly in love with God. I’d recommend giving this a read if you haven’t yet.

At this point, I think I'll be reading this book every January. It's so full of comfort and love, in a way that I have not been used to in modern Evangelical writings.

Being one of, if the first known female authors recorded in history, Julian of Norwich knowing or otherwise uses this platform to describe her sacred journey to pronounce that God is a God of love.
Although not all of her revelations aligned with my personal beliefs, I found Julian’s revelations to be centered around her own spheres of knowledge, experience, and influence. Ultimately, I found Revelations of Divine Love a book that drew me closer to God.
