Augustine's Confessions Book 1: Chapter 3 - Reflections

Augustine continues his questions. How is it that anything could contain God and yet we know that He fills all things. Does God overflow them? Where does God overflow to if he is not fully contained by anything? If God fulls all things then he is not 'brought down' when he fills us but we are uplifted. That's an amazing thought. We often think that God is up high and that it is a bother to bring himself down to us but he's already here and we have the opportunity to be uplifted, filled with his Spirit in a special way. This is, of course, standard Christian theology now, but it is still revolutionary to many who don't know it or know it and don't understand it.
