Quote Thomas Traherne, from Centuries of Meditations "You never enjoy the world aright, till the Sea itself floweth in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars: and perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more than so, because men are in it who are every one sole heirs as well as you. Till you love men so as to desire their happiness, with a thirst equal to the zeal of your own: till you delight in God for being good to all: you never enjoy the world." Hosted on Acast.

Scripture

Genesis 1:31 (NIV)

God saw all that he had made,

and it was very good.

And there was evening, and there was morning —

the sixth day.




Refrain

I am held in a world that was made for me.




Quote

Thomas Traherne, from Centuries of Meditations

"You never enjoy the world aright,

till the Sea itself floweth in your veins,

till you are clothed with the heavens,

and crowned with the stars:

and perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world,

and more than so,

because men are in it

who are every one sole heirs as well as you.

Till you love men so as to desire their happiness,

with a thirst equal to the zeal of your own:

till you delight in God for being good to all:

you never enjoy the world."
