Fixed in Every Part of Your Soul

So I hit on last night how each of us have to apply the deeper meaning of the cross to every area of our souls...

Each of us have unrenewed areas in our soul that are in desperate need of the touch of God to bring healing to us. We must meditate on God's Word and apply what He accomplished for us on Calvary to the deepest of wounds.

I love how St. Augustine put it:

"As they were looking on, so we too gaze on his wounds as he hangs. We see his blood as he dies. We see the price offered by the redeemer, touch the scars of his resurrection. He bows his head, as if to kiss you. His heart is made bare open, as it were, in love to you. His arms are extended that he may embrace you. His whole body is displayed for your redemption. Ponder how great these things are. Let all this be rightly weighed in your mind: as he was once fixed to the cross in every part of his body for you, so he may now be fixed in every part of your soul." - St. Augustine in 380 AD

Well is He? Is He fixed in every part of your soul?
