Augustine once wrote, "You made us for Yourself, and our hearts find no peace til they rest in You." How poignant. How soul-stirring. And how gripping a Truth.
No thing, no one, no circumstance, no path, no life style can satisfy the discontent of our souls other than He Whose loving kindness is better than life. There is no restoring of the soul outside of Him Who is the Living Water. There is no filling of the hungry, needy heart other than He Who is the Bread of Life.
I entitled this short post "Humbled Thoughts." This has been a blessedly humbling week in the midst of wretched pride, self-sufficiency, and suppression of Truth. I have felt more so this semester than almost any other time that I genuinely know nothing of what the Cross means--of what salvation means--of Who God truly is. The desperate need of my heart is for nothing less than to sit at the feet of Christ and, beholding His glory, being changed by Him, in Him, for Him. The wandering heart can find no respite other than brokenness.
Ps. 34:4-5 have been a continual blessing to me. May God's Word encourage and challenge your heart and stir in you a passion to see His Radiance.
"I sought the Lord and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to Him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed."
