"Return to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you." It was in the stillness of the evening, as the day was closing, that the weary dove returned to her master. O Lord, let me return to Jesus this evening just like that. She couldn’t bear to spend another night hovering over the restless

waters, and I can’t bear to spend another hour away from Jesus, the rest for my heart and the home of my spirit. She didn’t just land on the roof of the ark, she "came into him"; in the same way, I long to enter into the secret place of the Lord, to reach the heart of truth, to go beyond the veil, and truly connect with my Beloved.

Though no one can have too much religion, some people are consumed by a fanatical zeal for their favorite piece of truth, or they’re burnt out with a showy display of religious practices that suit their fancy. The appearance of superior holiness often

hides a complete lack of genuine godliness. A person may seem like a saint in public but be like a devil in private, dealing in righteousness by day and in sin by night.
