a quote to live by

I came across this quote twice in the past week and it is great! People talk of the supermacy of Christ and I feel this passage is SUCH a exemplification of it.

"You are every active, yet always at rest. You gather all things to yourself, though you suffer no need ... You grieve for wrong, but suffer no pain. You can be angry and yet serene. Your works are varied, but your purpose is one and the same ... You welcome those who come to you, though you never lost them. You are never in need yet you are gald to gain, never covetous yet you exact a return for your gifts ... You release us from our debts, but you lose nothing thereby. You are my God, my Life, my holy Delight, but is this enough to say of you? Can any man say enough wne he speaks of you? Yet woe betide those who are silent about you!" (Augustine, Confessions, I,4)

I read through this very quickly, stopped when my head started spinning, and went back to the beginning. Thinking of God/Christ/Spirit in these terms is so HUGE. Though I know these things, being reminded about how incredible the might and heart of God are.
