Longing

It was when I was happiest that I longed for the most..... The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing....to find the place where all the beauty came from.
*C.S Lewis

If our longing for more is the thing that makes us go, if it's the thing that makes us go to Him, again and again and again, then it's a good thing. It's a best thing to have it go unfulfilled. One day our longings will be fulfilled. One day we will understand. One day we who are His will go home. We will see the One for whom our souls yearn.
*Girl On a Swing (N.Kennedy)

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
Hebrews 11:1-2

These all died in faith, not having received the promise, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For these who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland.
Hebrews 11:13-14
