Confessions of One of His Lovers
Credits: Produced by Ruth Hart
Summary: "The Golden Fountain" by Lilian Staveley is a spiritual reflection written in the early 20th century. The work explores the deep longing of the soul for a personal connection with God, emphasizing themes of love, repentance, and the transformative power of faith. It invites readers to seek not just knowledge of God, but an experiential relationship characterized by love and desire. The opening of the book introduces the concept of an impenetrable barrier separating the soul from God, reflecting a yearning for more than faith alone. It posits that true connection can only be achieved through a life stripped of pretense, filled solely with a genuine yearning for Christ. The narrative encourages the reader to abandon endless debates over theological issues and personal ambitions, instead focusing on nurturing a loving and passionate relationship with Jesus, who embodies the essence of divine love. Through personal confessions and reflections, Staveley illustrates her journey toward this union with God, highlighting profound experiences of conversion and love that touch on the heart and soul's journey towards understanding divine reality.
