There are times when heaven feels close. Suddenly the mortal veil seems thinner, and divinity can be felt in the heart. These windows into the eternal coincide with evidences of majestic love. The human heart is opened to divinity through love.
Truly listening to a friend who comes with all their problems and insecurities opens the heart. Sitting still and absorbing the incomprehensible greatness of the universe also allows the heavens to descend. Comforting a child, serving those who stand in need, kisses, living an intentional life and anything else that is an expression of love can serve to make the heart more sensitive to divine sources.
God must not be reduced to something as simple as a feeling. He defies such simplification by his very being. But true love is a reflection of Him. Love is not simply a feeling. It is a beatific gift that is impossible to understand fully with mere human reason. Live with love, always.
