From St. Clement: Where will I go, where will I hide from your face? If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go to the limits of the earth, your right hand is there; if I lie down in the deep, your spirit is there.
Usually I find myself attracted to spiritual imagery that leads us to a closer union with God but these words from the second to last paragraph have been running through my mind all day. They are, I believe, paraphrased from Psalm 139. Instead of being frustrated at the futility of trying to hide from the Lord, I am instead comforted by the fact that there is no where I could chose to go where I would not find him waiting for me. There is, therefore, no reason to resist his love for us and that we should always remember that we are the portion he has chosen for himself.
