I've been reading a book called Sacred Legacy: Ancient Writings from Nine Women of Strength and Honor by Myrna Grant.
It's been very interesting. I have learned some things about Christian women throughout the ages.
The story of Perpetua touched me so immensely. If you've never read her story, you should. It's amazing!
Anyway, in the chapter about Hildegard , Genius Reformer (1098-1179 A.D.) I had to reread this section over and over to capture what she was saying. But the wording is beautiful and finally the meaning of her words sunk in. It's an amazing description of the power of God.
Here it is:
"This blazing fire that you see symbolizes the Omnipotent and Living God, who in His most glorious serenity was never darkened by any iniquity. He is incomprehensible because He cannot be divided by any division, or known as He is by any part of His creature's knowledge; inextinguishable because He is that fullness that no limit ever touched; wholly living, for there is nothing that is hidden from Him or that He does not know; and wholly life for everything that lives takes its life from Him..."
