Longing for God

I went wandering through the city, through its streets and alleys. I looked for the one I love. I looked, but couldn't find him.

Song of Songs 3:2 GNBDK

O God, you are my God, and I long for you. My whole being desires you; like a dry, worn-out, and waterless land, my soul is thirsty for you.

Psalms 63:1 GNBDK

“Woman, why are you crying?” Jesus asked her. “Who is it that you are looking for?” She thought he was the gardener, so she said to him, “If you took him away, sir, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him.”

John 20:15 GNBDK

Reflection:

We can try everything in this world to fill that aching void within us; but nothing will, except that what it was made for. You are a marvel, a mystery created by God in his image and likeness for his glory and for eternity. And it is only in him that our hearts will find its true rest. But the question we need to ask ourselves is; Am I truly longing to encounter my creator, my saviour, and my God? 

Prayer:

I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to seek him wholeheartedly and in all sincereity. As you dwell in his word may you encounter Jesus Christ his son, our Lord and Saviour. And may his Holy Spirit help you see it all through the eyes of faith. Amen 

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
