A Year 3, States of Grace

The contradictions of consolations

I just heard Annie’s Song again and was slid into a Divine consolation that overtook everything. These that come to me, the way He comes to me, I am unable to put into words. The feeling that is.

My heart dilated with love so much it felt like it would explode out of my chest. I had such shortness of breath, but also the feeling of breathing very deeply, it was disconcerting. Tears could not be held back. They were not tears of humility or joy. They were just unexplainable hot tears. The experience felt more pleasurable than anything I’ve ever felt, but also painful. God up close feels like that.

Anymore than that short song and I would have had to pull over. I should have pulled over. The Lord is sure pleased with that song.
