Oh ! how shall I find rest in Thee ? Who will send Thee into my heart to inebriate it, that I may forget my woes, and embrace Thee my only good ? What art Thou to me ? ~Augustine of Hippo (Saint Augustine) in The Confessions Book I
(my reflection)
What a prayer! I was touched by the Chinese translation and find out the original text. I am now interesting to read the entire Saint Augustine's The Confessions.
I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom,’
and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’
They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures
and on hills that were previously bare.
They will neither hunger nor thirst.
The searing sun will not reach them anymore.
For the LORD in his mercy will lead them;
he will lead them beside cool waters.
~ Isaiah 49:9-10 (NLT)
