Lest I lose readers simply due to the title, I'll get right to the point: If you've ever had an experience, I mean truly had an experience of God's tender care for you personally... you may find yourself left with two competing feelings (well... at least two). One is a sense of awe, wonder, amazement, maybe even verging on disbelief or doubt. On the other hand, you've likely had a sense of how tiny you are in the vast scheme of things, a speck in a vast universe, as well as a conviction of unworthiness, perhaps even a sense of dread.
"At the center of our being is a point of nothingness ~ of pure truth ~ a spark ~ like a pure diamond, blazing with the invisible light of heaven ~ The Gate of Heaven is everywhere!" [Thomas Merton]
