In my soul I feel an unfathomable chasm filled up only by God; I am melting in Him, like a single drop in the ocean. The Lord has come down to my wretchedness, like a ray of sunlight to an empty and rocky land, nonetheless, under the influence of His rays my soul has burst into blossom with vegetation, fruit and flowers, and has turned into a beautiful garden fit for Him to rest in (Diary 605).
