James 1:17 (NRSVUE)
Every generous act of giving,
with every perfect gift,
is from above,
coming down from the Father of lights.
It's all a gift.
Julian of Norwich, from Revelations of Divine Love
"And in this he showed me a little thing,
the quantity of a hazelnut,
lying in the palm of my hand, as it seemed.
And it was as round as a ball.
I looked upon it with the eye of my understanding
and thought, 'What may this be?'
And it was answered generally thus:
'It is all that is made.'
I marveled how it might last,
for I thought it might suddenly have fallen to nothing for littleness.
And I was answered in my understanding:
It lasts and ever shall, for God loves it.
And so have all things their beginning
by the love of God."
