Meaning

[ThereseAdrianna]

Lately, I’ve been seeing and hearing this quote.

What do you think the deeper meaning of this quote is ?

“My heart is restless until it rests in you.”

This is probably a quote (slightly altered) from the Confessions of Saint Augustine. The full quote is:

“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.”

Bernadette Farrell composed an exceptionally lovely hymn based on these words.

I’m going to share the first thing that popped into my head.

It was as though it was Jesus saying it. That His heart cannot rest until you let Him rest in you.

I know that it is not the context in which it was originally stated but for some reason that is how I heard it today. A different perspective.

Our happiness and beatitude lies in God alone. God made us for himself.

it means that God created a “God sized” hole in mans heart in which only God can fit. Man seeks to fill this gap and sometimes fills it with worldly things however this never makes him truly or eternally happy. the man continues searching for this everlasting happiness and only is satisfied and rests when he discovers that it is God that is his true happiness and that belongs in his heart. so his heart is restless until his heart rests in God his true happiness and rest
