Pursuit of God - Restoring a...

A. W. Tozer, Caleb Sinclair

To have found God and still seek Him is a love paradox, rejected by the too-easy-satisfied religious person, but justified by the offspring of the flaming heart in happy experience. This heavenly contradiction was expressed by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux in a musical four-line poem that will be quickly grasped by every worshiping soul:

And long to feast upon Thee still: 
We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead 
And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.
