I’m sure many others have experienced this feeling, a love sickness for God, as some would say. I absolutely love reading about other’s experience with feeling absolutely loved by God, and loving him absolutely in turn, as silly as it may sound! I really enjoy reading diary excerpts from saints, books from Christian writers, etc. For example, one of my favorite excerpts from St. Faustina’ diary follows as:
“Suddenly, when I had consented to the sacrifice with all my heart and all my will, God’s
presence pervaded me. My soul became immersed in God and was inundated with such
happiness that I cannot put in writing even the smallest part of it. I felt that His Majesty was
enveloping me. I was extraordinarily fused with God. I saw that God was well pleased with
me and, reciprocally, my spirit drowned itself in Him. Aware of this union with God, I felt I
was especially loved and, in turn, I loved with all my soul. A great mystery took place during
that adoration, a mystery between the Lord and myself. It seemed to me that I would die of
love [at the sight of] His glance. I spoke much with the Lord, without uttering a single word.
And the Lord said to me, You are the delight of My Heart; from today on, every one of
your acts, even the very smallest, will be a delight to My eyes, whatever you do. At
that moment I felt transconsecrated. My earthly body was the same, but my soul was
different; God was now living in it with the totality of His delight. This is not a feeling, but a
conscious reality that nothing can obscure.” (137)
Can anyone else share a bit of their personal relationship with God, or any kind of thoughts they may feel towards God the Father/Jesus/Holy Spirit that endears them, helps think of their relationship as endlessly loving? The sole purpose of this thread is feel good vibes lol, made to share feelings of great love for God and the love he feels for us!
