“He brought me forth also into a large place;
he delivered me because he delighted in me.”
Psalm 18:19

And what is this “large place”? What can it be
but God Himself, that infinite Being in whom
all other beings and all other streams of life terminate?

God is a large place indeed. And it was through
humiliation, through abasement,
through nothingness that David was brought into it.

Madame Guyon (1648-1717)
