Our Hearts Will Remain Restless Until…

Let not the wise..

I have but one longing that can never be fully satisfied: my longing for my Creator. And yet, paradoxically, while it is the only thing I can never fully possess in this life, it is the only thing that gives real meaning to this life.

“For you have made us for Yourself, and our hearts remain restless until they find their rest in You.”

~Augustine of Hippo

You alone are my path

and my destination.

    That’s so well said, Mitch. On one hand the longing but knowning that the physical life must end to experience Him fully. Still, I can feel Him strongly through his creations – through ourselves.

  6. My absolute favorite quotation.

    The depth of seeking God is the reward our souls long for. The glimpses, the passing moments, though unattainable yet very gratifying, these are the things that keep us drawn to him, to come ever closer until we finally arrive in his presence.

    Well said, Mitch. Thanks for sharing.

  11. Satan The Accuser - Before The Throne Of God after walking Amongst The Elect. says:

    I really can’t stand memes; especially Christian Memes. Jesus often said “Now, Go and sin no more.” Sin is IGNORANCE (consider “Ignore”), Jeremiah seems so far from ignorance. Where was Jeremiah when Jesus lived? SERIOUSLY. That’s why I hate Christian Memes. I see now…how you all just disempowered yourseves by pining for something so unattainable…KNOWING GOD IN YOURSELVES…Christians.

    Jeremiah came well before the Messiah – and HE was not CHRISTIAN. He didn’t KNOW CHIRST like a Christian says is RIGHT!

    Uriel is the bearer of the keys TO hell. And that’s “great” because those keys can also lead you out of that pining hell.

    For instance: Jesus said “In MY Name.” What an example HE was SHOWING (how to do it).

    GOD KNOWS YOU, for You say you have “Christ Within.” You are CHRISTIAN!!! That’s what Christ Within Means, and Christ is GOD’S ONLY BEGOTTEN SON IN “YOU!” HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW “GOD?”

    Are you GODLESS!!!!????

    Sit on that for a moment.

    Another key…is this (shhhhhh).

    JESUS WAS HUMAN, and there is 90% of “HIS” HUMAN LIFE you don’t know. We read of only 10% of THAT HUMAN LIFE. HOW MUCH DO YOU READ AND WRITE HERE 2000 YEARS LATER!!? GOD SURELY KNOWS YOU. Do you know yourself?

    NEVER MIND JEREMIAH! Where was CHRIST when you posted! That’s God IN YOU.

    What key is that in? For a Psalm.

    Amen

    Only GOD Judges. But there is an Accuser, and there is a Redeemer before GOD’S Bench…and they are BOTH safe. They both help. And we both WITNESS.

    Sincerely,

    SATAN – THE LEAST OF GOD’S ANGELS – A messenger OF GOD, TOO.

    and a tail bearer (wink)

    Satan tests the integrity of Human-Life with “LIFE!” and “LIFE” IS CHRIST!! And Christ…is GOD in YOU?

    JESUS PASSED.
