When God touches a human being

I have always believed that, when God touches a human being, the
experience will survive three tests: 1.) The time test: The person
touched by God will never be the same again...2.) The reality test:
The soul which has been touched by God will not be drawn up into an
other-worldly posture or into bowered ivory towers of private
ecstasy but will be deepened in awareness of the world around...3.)
The charity test: The human being who has opened to God's touch
will be made more God-like by reason of that contact.
