There is within us a great mystery. A mystery so vast as to rival the universe. What is inside of us, what is this stuff we call soul, being, person, will? We can indeed rule it ourselves, with hold it from God's governance, though not his glory. We can exercize our will against his Will and do so all the time.
This kingdom that we control, when apart from him is insignificant. Atomic compared with his infinitude. Yet that will contains and controls a desire in us so great that the universe itself could fit within it--our desire to know God. In our miniscule atomic being, there is a vacuum only the Infinite God himself can fill.
Imagine our atomic selves being home to the infinite. He dwells in us, makes his home in us. His fullness inside us. How can our inner mystery contain, grapple or appreciate the Infinate and Trancendant?!
