THE DRAWING OF GOD
— St.
Augustine.
No man can come to Me, except the Father which sent Me draw him. (John vi. 44) " He 'did not say lead him, but draw him." . This violence is done -to theheart, not to the body. Think it not a rough and uneasy violence; it is sweet, alluring; the sweetness draws thee. Is not a hungry sheep drawn "wheri the grass is shown it? It is not, I ween, driven on in body, but is constrained by longing. So do thou too come to Christ.
