We are spiritual being with human experience and not human beings with spiritual experience. Body and soul, although as real as God, are dependent on God. · If you see the moon, you see the beauty of God: if you see the sun, you see the power of God; If you see the mirror, you see the best creation of God.

If you install God’s image in the temple of your heart to keep His company all the time, so He does not to have to wait to visit you at times of need.
