The Heavenly Light

“God is light.”
— 1 John 1:5

“Too often a healing of a humbling state of things is sought more than the state of soul which has given occasion to it … and if we do not wait God's doing … we have to await the effect of not doing it. There is but One that can bring the light that judges conscience into the soul: on Him we can count. … We cannot hasten God; He, when He is working, will have all things real.”
