“...you have to reach for things beyond your grasp, or what is heaven for”

“All your life an unattainable ecstasy has hovered just beyond the grasp of your consciousness. The day is coming when you will wake to find, beyond all hope, that you have attained it, or else, that it was within your reach and you have lost it forever.”

“Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp,Or what's a heaven for?”

“With confidence, you can reach truly amazing heights; without confidence, even the simplest accomplishments are beyond your grasp.”

“But God will look to every soul like its first love because He is its first love. Your place in heaven will seem to be made for you and you alone, because you were made for it--made for it stitch by stitch as a glove is made for a hand.It is from this point of view that we can understand hell in its aspect of privation. All your life an unattainable ecstasy has hovered just beyond the grasp of your consciousness. The day is coming when you will wake to find, beyond all hope, that you have attained it, or else, that it was within your reach and you have lost it forever.”

“Does your love reach this far, God? And if it extends to heaven and beyond… why can’t it seem to find me?”
