True Humility
"I call upon you, O God, my Mercy, who made me and did not forget me when I forgot you. I call you to come into my soul, by inspiring it to long for you prepare it to receive you." XIII lines 1-2
After reading through this entire novel, one theme came to the forefront of the final book. His overwhelming love for the Lord and his awestruck wonder at His goodness is something to take notes on. After seeing all of his questions and different routes he took to finally come to Christ is an amazing journey. He denounces the worlds things and looks towards the Lord for what is pure and good. I can relate very much to this considering my initial walk with the Lord was filled with doubt, questions, and many different ideas of God had swirled around until I fully surrendered to Him. It's cool to get to read this and have a relation to it.
P.S. I commented on Nate's and Abigail's posts

I agree! I love how relational Augustine's Confessions are to even a modern day follower of Christ. I think the focus that Augustine points out time and again on the sovereignty God has over his life, and how He was at work even when Augustine did not know it, proves the personal relationship God wants to have with each of us and He works in our lives as well.
