“St. Augustine said that God is closer to you than you are to yourself. Because God is love, this means that love, God’s love, is closer to you than you are to yourself. It is impossible to carry this to extremes; it is impossible to state this too strongly. God is love, and God loves you with a love that surrounds and penetrate you at all times and in all places. God’s love is the air you breathe; God’s love is the food you eat; and God’s love for you is absolutely reliable.” —An excerpt from “You Are My Beloved” by Mitch Finley
