Augustine

I recently began reading Confessions of Saint Augustine. This guy was amazing. I've only just begun and already I can tell his heart was set on God. He was constantly digging deeper into Christ and his purpose for this Earth. A recent quote from his book that really stuck out to me is this:
"What, then, is my God? What, i ask, except the Lord God? For who is Lord but the Lord? Or who is God save our god? O highest and best, most powerful, most all-powerful, most merciful and most just, most deeply hidden and most nearly present, most beautiful and most strong, constant yet incomprehensible, changless, yet changing all things, never new, never old, making all things new; bringing the proud to decay and they know it not; always acting and always at rest, still gathering yet never wanting; upholding, filling and protecting, creating, nourishing and bringing to perfection; seeking, although in need of nothing. you love, but with no storm of passion; you are jealous, but with no anxious fear; you repend, but do not grieve; in you anger calm; you change your works, but never change your plan; you take back what you find and yet have never lost; never in need, you are yet glad of gain; never greedy, yet still demanding profit on your loans; to be paid in excess, so that you may be the debtor, and yet who has anything which is not yours?...And in this what have I said, my God, my Life, my holy sweetness? What does any man succeed in saying when he attempts to speak of you? Yet woe to those who do not speak of you at all, when those who speak most say nothing."

When I got done reading these words, all I could do is say "wow." This guy succeeded in expressing the greatness of our God. Yet, he admits that even in that long description, he has not truly accomplished anything. No one can comprehend, grasp, or express how wonderful our Saviour is. Our brains just simply cannot comprehend it. God is perfect. Our human brains cannot fathom such perfection. How unworthy am I to have the love of this perfect God! I am nothing. I am a simple human who constantly messes up in this life. Yet, God made me...He knows me in and out...and loves me more than I can imagine. There's nothing I can say that can capture how that makes me feel; that can capture my love for my merciful Saviour.
