Quote from, ‘Revelations of Divine Love.’

“We need to know the littleness of all created beings and to set at nothing everything that is made in order to love and possess God who is unmade. This is the reason why we do not feel complete ease in our hearts and souls: we look here for satisfaction in things which are so trivial, where there is no rest to be found, and do not know our God who is almighty, all wise, all good; He is rest itself. God wishes to be known, and is pleased that we should rest in him; for all that is below Him does nothing to satisfy us; and this is why, until all that is made seems as nothing, no soul can be at rest. When a soul sets all at nothing for love, to have Him who is everything, then he is able to recieve spiritual rest.”
