Haha Mabel, I hope your faith in Him has grown and I believe it definitely has :)

As I was reading the Confessions of Augustine last night before sleep, this line struck me.
'And, when thou art poured out on us, thou are
not thereby brought down ; rather, we are uplifted.'
This echoed in my head what Martyn Lloyd Jones said in 'The Cross': "Our whole notion of love is so abased, so unworthy, that we do not know what love means." Before that he wrote that the trouble we all have, even Christians, is that we do not know God. "We think in sentimental terms." You might not directly see the relevance but indeed, the more I know myself, the more I realise I do not know God. God and his holiness, God and his loveliness. The former that I know less of.
Sometimes, do we truly believe that 'I' am the 'wretched man that I am!'?
