Deprived is the one who has never witnessed his own desperate need for God. Reliant on his own means, he forgets that the means, his own soul, and everything else in existence are His creation.

About This Quote

We all need God. There is no question about it. We all need something to rely on. Something to give us meaning and fulfillment.

However, when we become so reliant on our own means that we forget that the means, our own soul, and everything else in existence are God’s creation, we become deprived. We lose sight of the fact that we are dependent on something bigger than ourselves and we forget that God is the only thing that can give us real worth and meaning in life.
