Heavenly homesickness?''

Back to THE LOVINGNESS OF JESUS 2

---

(Spurgeon, "Nunc Dimittis" #1014)

Have you ever felt heavenly homesickness?

Surely, when your heart has been full of the 
Bridegroom's beauty, and your soul has been 
ravished with his dear and ever precious love, 
you have said: "When shall the day break, 
and the shadows flee away? Why are His 
chariots so long in coming?"

You have swooned, as it were, with love 
sickness for your precious Saviour, thirsting 
to see Him as He is, and to be like Him.

The world is black when Christ is seen in 
His beauty.  The world is a poor heap of 
ashes when Jesus is altogether lovely to us.
