Fenelon: is God boring?

Wednesday, October 2, 2024
Meditation:
    [Jesus:] “You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.’”
    —Matthew 15:7-8 (NIV)
Quotation:
    If God bores you, tell Him that He bores you, that you prefer the vilest amusements to His presence, that you only feel at your ease when you are far from Him.
    ... François Fénelon (1651-1715), Spiritual Letters of Archbishop Fénelon. Letters to men, London: Rivingtons, 1877, p. 58-59 (see the book)
    See also Matt. 15:7-8; Ps. 14; Amos 5:14-15; Heb. 11:6; 1 John 1:9
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, lead me to be honest with You. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
