I woke up early this morning groaning for the Lord. I am tremendously blessed with a great family and a great church yet there is a growing longing in my heart that nothing in this world can satisfy. It's always been there since 1983 but it seems to have surfaced more notably in the past months. I have not traveled extensively but the few places that I have seen that left an impression on me was never man made. What man is able to create out of his own imagination and will power is amazing sometimes. But when compared to the grand scale and majesty of His creation it will never come close. I long to meet the Lord who created my inner being.
When our hearts long for something else other than what we have our natural tendency is to fill that with something immediate. But maybe that longing was placed there to wait eagerly for the Lord and not for human companionships. The world can only distract us from our true longings.
The early church used to greet each other saying Maranatha!!! It means "Lord Come" or "our Lord come". I pray that your day will be filled with reminders that causes you to eagerly anticipate His second coming.
