Yearning
05.24.06 (4:54 pm) [edit] There is a yearning in the human heart Often going without a name, Experienced as a wound by some, By others a simple longing. An inner thirst, Unquenchable, Showing no mercy to the Soul, Allowing no permanent rest Since it cannot be owned But only sought. This yearning points beyond what we have, It almost seems that we are also pursued. That being also yearned for Is what draws us forward. Seeking union with that which has no name, Nor form, Yet present in the inner emptiness Speaking of home A place we know is there Even though never seen. |

It is the God-shaped vacuum, within every human life, that can only be filled by God. I became keenly aware of this emptiness and search for relationship, and was amazed to find a relationship with Christ that filled me with warmth and completion.
