For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience, they are none the better for having heard the truth. The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their being, their spirit.
-A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God
Lovely Image and I love the quote as well, sounds very similar to Thomas Merton’s experience, but sweeter. I am going to look up A.W. Tozer
Thank You and bless you

Wonderful quote with a perfect and spiritually mystical photo! I haven’t been writing on my blog as much, but just wrote a post about hearing God’s whisper. Our posts compliment one another today! Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents!
