111. The reality of this can hardly be comprehended if a natural idea is formed of it, because it has in it a notion of space; but it can be comprehended if a spiritual idea is formed, because this does not have in it a notion of space. That is the idea angels have of it. Still, even if a natural idea is formed, this much can be comprehended, that love and wisdom, or in other words, the Lord, who is Divine love and wisdom, cannot possibly travel through intervals of space, but that He is present in everyone in accordance with the person's reception of Him. That the Lord is present in all people, He Himself teaches in Matthew 28:20,* and that He makes His abode in those who love Him, in John 24:21.** * "lo, I am with you always." ** "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him."
