You Approached Me

OEternal Truth and true Love and beloved Eternity: you are my God, and for you do I sigh night and day. When I first began to know you, you lifted me up that I might see that there was something to be seen--but I was as yet not able to see it.

Then you drove back the weakness of my sight, shining upon me most powerfully, and I shook with love and fear.

-- Confessions 7, 10

Prayer. Lord, you first sought me out and brought me back on your shoulder.

-- Commentary on Psalm 69, 6
