Glory be to Him, Who never felt the need of our praising Him

[unknown]

"Glory be to Him, Who never felt the need of our praising Him; yet felt the
need as being kind to us, and thirsted as loving us, and asks us to give to
Him, and longs to give to us. His fruit was mingled with us men, that in
Him we might come near to Him, Who condescended to us. By the Fruit of His
stem He grafted us into His Tree."

St. Ephraim the Syrian.

"And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your
heart." Jeremiah 29:13

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.

[Robert]
