There is an old classic that I read bits of when I lived in Spain. I was in placed where this old Saint lived and walked in places where St John of the Cross was... Leaves you wondering if my feet picked up some of their dust and it turned into a bit of anointing on my life. I find some of the experiences are similar, yet I have a long way to go. Joshua 1:3 "I will give you every place where you set your foot..." Maybe the dust brings a good dose of his saturated experiences.
Here are some quote from St John of the Cross...
"In the evening of life, we will be judged on love alone." - St. John of the Cross
"In tribulation immediately draw near to God with Confidence and you will receive strength, enlightenment and instruction. Abide in peace, banish cares, take no account of all that happens and you will serve God according to his good pleasure and rest in him." - St. John of the Cross.
The attached article is a short summary of his book. Takes you through the principles he learned. One can take a moment of good reflection. I found myself revisiting some of his work, putting several things of real value into the Lord's hands and trusting that if they were to no longer be connected to us - that the Lord would know what He was working in us and it would have value in what it would work in our hearts.
"The fire of evil can better be fought with flames of ecstasy than through fasting and mortification." —Abraham Heschel
