"It is a long way from the recognition of a Logos, an Eternal Word who speaks and under whom we live, to the specific destiny to which you yourself as an individual woman (or man) are called. Yet the God who controls the wheeling galaxies and who spoke before the foundation of the world must be the God who holds the smallest circumstances of your life in His hands. We are encompassed on all sides by the Almighty. 'His tender mercies are over all His works', 'steadfast love surrounds him who trusts in the Lord', and 'underneath are the Everlasting Arms.' Over, around, underneath.
We are enfolded. Can you think of a safer place to be?"
