Let Us Run to God – Quote of the Week

October 25, 2014 By Jean Wise

Quote - healthyspirituality.org

You never go away from us,

yet we have difficulty in returning to you.

Come, Lord, stir us up and call us back.

Kindle and seize us.

Be our fire and our sweetness.

Let us love.

Let us run.

 

-Augustine

        Oh, what a grand idea! However, let’s make it at a little slower pace, please. 😉

          You are funny. Ok a leisurely walk together so we can talk all the way to God!

      Reminds me how the father ran after the Prodigal son. God run to us too.
