The God shaped hole

In a lecture today, Dr. Jones was speaking on common grace and I found his words very compelling. He was following after Augustine's Confessions, chapter 1, but made this his own.

God has put something only He can satisfy in our heart. Nothing will
satisfy human longings other than God himself. Whatever yearnings for
truth and beauty sinners have comes because they are made in the image of God.
This is common grace. The gospel fits human nature, particularly its aspirations
for meaning and significance.
