Just how close can we get to God?

"Listen, O Lord, to my prayers. Listen to my desire to be with you, to dwell in your house, and to let my whole being be filled with your presence. But none of this is possible without you. When you are not the one who fills me, I am soon filled with endless thoughts and concerns that divide me and tear me away from you. Even thoughts about you, good spiritual thoughts, can be little more than distractions when you are not the author." - From A Cry for Mercy by Henri J. M. Nouwen

We are approaching the third Sunday in Lent. Let us continue to spend time seeking understanding through a closer relationship with God through Christ.
