'The soul is like a sponge, always thirsting, and seeking of something from without to be filled; a chaos of desires. Man was made to live in dependence. Now, of all portions in the world, there is none worth the having, but God himself; nothing else can make you completely blessed, and satisfy all the necessities, and all the capacities, of soul and body..."The Lord is my shepherd:" what then? "I shall not want" (Ps. 23:1).'

My flesh
and my heart may fail,
but God is the
strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm
73:26
I cry to
you, O Lord;
I say, “You are
my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.”
Psalm 142:5
"You
move us to delight in praising You; for You have formed us for Yourself, and
our hearts are restless till they find rest in You." Augustine, Confessions (Book I, Chapter 1)
