Search in yourself and feel the times of your burning…
““Search in yourself and feel the times of your burning desire for God. Pray: how do I block myself from Your Divine Love? What unfelt emotions block me from feeling Your Love more? The answer could also be that you are not loving yourself, that you are judging yourself, that you are living in a false hope, that you have abandoned your love for yourself in your life, that you give it away cheaply to others, that you compromise it because you think it is the right thing to do, that to be a martyr is right, that to ignore your own feelings is the spiritual way.””
