God made your heart for his paradise (St. Francis de Sales)

   A river flowed out of the place of delights to water the terrestrial paradise, which from there divided or separated into four streams… Now man, without a doubt, is the paradise of Paradise itself, since the earthly paradise was only made to be the dwelling place of man, as man was made to be the dwelling place of God. 

God made your heart for his paradise.
--Saint Francis de Sales, Treatise on the Love of God
