let me die

Not really...I recently started reading "The Confessions of St. Augustine" and it has been pretty cool. So, this week I thought I would simply throw a quote your way and let you meditate and ponder its theological and life-practical significance.

In his article entitled "Confession of the Greatness of God", Augustine wrote:

Oh, have mercy on me and tell me,
O Lord my God, what You are to me.
Say to my soul, "I am your salvation."
Say it loudly enough that I may hear.

Behold, Lord, my heart lies exposed before You.
Open the ears of that heart and say unto
my soul, "I am your salvation."

After You have spoken,
allow me to quickly grasp You.

Hide not Your face from me.

Let me die, so that I will not only die.
