Our Hearts are Longing for More

There have been times when I think we do not desire heaven; 

but more often I find myself wondering whether, in our heart 

of hearts, we have ever desired anything else. . . . It is the secret 

signature of each soul, the incommunicable and unappeasable 

want, the thing we desired before we met our wives or made 

our friends or chose our work, and which we shall still desire on 

our deathbeds, when the mind no longer knows wife or friend 

or work. . . . All your life an unattainable ecstasy has hovered 

just beyond the grasp of your consciousness. The day is coming 

when you will wake to find, beyond all hope, that you have 

attained it.

C. S. LEWIS 

The Problem of Pain

Yes, we know this must be true - that all our desires, all our empty heart cries, are the sounds of the ache within our souls that is longing to be filled. And it will be filled. Someday, someday very soon, we will be filled. 

But for now, we wait. And we know that our waiting is not in vain.
