Status Updates From The Confessions

Peak

“You were always by me, mercifully hard upon me, and besprinkling all my illicit pleasures with certain elements of bitterness, to draw me on to seek for pleasures in which no bitterness should be. And where was I to find such pleasure save in You O Lord, You who use sorrow to teach, and wound us to heal, and kill us lest we die to You."
