In the Green Water

“He… worked through natural laws, and the laws of men, through prophets and kings, through artists and sages- inasfar as they could, and were willing to, give themselves over to His actions. Wherever there fell tears of yearning for God’s righteousness into the dust of the earth, this was from the warmth with which He warmed men’s hearts. Whenever a wise man had a flash of insight about the one, immortal God, this was His spark in a man’s soul. Whenever an artist sang, or carved, or painted, some allegory of life that, in some way, opened the eyes of blinded mankind to see divine truth, there He touched that man’s spirit with His life-giving breath.”
