By Saint Francis of Assisi...
A much needed exhortation, take heed my soul:
Therefore
let us desire nothing else
let us wish for nothing else
let nothing else please us
. and cause us delight
except our Creator and Redeemer and Savior,
the one true God,
Who is the Fullness of Good
. all good, every good, the true and supreme good
Who alone is Good
. merciful and gentle
. delectable and sweet
Who alone is holy
. just and true
. holy and right
Who alone is kind
. innocent
. pure
from Whom and through Whom and in Whom is
. all pardon
. all grace
. all glory
. . of all the penitent and the just
. . of all the blessed who rejoice together in heaven.
Therefore
let nothing hinder us
. nothing separate us
. or nothing come between us.
Let all of us
. wherever we are
. in every place
. at every hour
. at every time of day
. everyday and continually
believe truly and humbly
and keep in our heart
and love, honor, adore,serve
. praise and bless
. glorify and exalt
. magnify and give thanks to
the most high and supreme eternal God
Trinity and Unity
the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit
Creator of all
Savior of all who believe in Him
. and hope in Him
. and love Him
Who is
. without beginning and without end
. unchangeable, invisible,
. indescribable, ineffable,
. incomprehensible, unfathomable,
. blessed, worthy of praise,
. glorious, exalted on high, sublime,
. most high, gentle, lovable,
. delectable and totally desirable above all else
. forever.
Amen.

"Turn your eyes upon Jesus," O my soul, "look full in His wonderful face and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace."
"And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit." 1Corinthians 3:18
Hmm.
and with unveiled face we can better see the glory of the Lord and I think cannot help but be transformed by it.
Let us go from glory to greater glory.
Thank you for posting that beautiful quote James, it is a good way to direct our minds closer to God.
