As a student of Dr. Hamstra's, I think this is an excellent example how Augustine's "Confessions" speaks to each reader with a different perspective. It touches everyone differently as to how the individual is not content, not satisfied, until it is home with the Father. I don't mean "at home with Father" to be the relationship that occurs after death, but the relationship one finds through complete surrender to the will of God. Can that surrendered relationship occur here on earth? I'm not sure but I am praying that I find my rest in doing His will.
