Longing and hunger are good. If I was "satisfied" with my relationship with God or as a wife, mother and friend - would I still continue to press on for new territory?
Longing and hunger propel you forward (unless you choose to downward spiral through the numbing of addiction). I prefer up, out and beyond.
I have mistaken this "dissatisfaction" as something to get over. I think I will sense this until the day I die. I've heard of the phrase "holy longing." There is a place deep inside me that groans and longs for the Lord, His love, His ways. It shows that I am alive and living in this world…waiting for the bridegroom to come.
What bride does not yearn for her groom?
Come, Lord Jesus!
