Our Greatest Longing

“One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.” – Helen Keller

How good is God! How good indeed is He.
While I asked what He desires of me to be,
He sent the question back to me.
What is it that you desire, He asked.
What is it that you long for the most?
He who is King and who is to be served
is concerned with my heart and asks.
He does not impose.
Rather, He honors our hearts’ purest desires,
for He knows that within it
is a great good He Himself has made.
He desires for us our greatest joy.
Shall we have the courage to find out
and to pursue what it is we desire most of all?

“…delight yourself in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
-Psalm 37:4, WEB-BE
