Spiritual longing

"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God!" Psalm 42:1-2

Spiritual longing is the heart's cry, which God hears always and answers with more and more of His fullness. It is the ascending angel which climbs the starry ladder, to return on the same radiant stairway with ever new blessings from God.

It is nothing less than the very life of God in the human soul, struggling to grow up into the fullness of the stature of Christ. It is the transfiguring spirit in us, which cleanses these dull earthly lives of ours, and changes them little by little into the Divine image!
