One of the great Christian mystics, Julian of Norwich, once described God this way: "Completely relaxed and courteous, he was himself the happiness and peace of his dear friends, his beautiful face, radiating measureless love, like a marvelous symphony; and it was that wonderful face shining with the beauty of God that filled that heavenly place with joy and light."
