Longing for God

We see, if ever we see, not with our eyes but with the eyes of our heart. In the secret longing and subtle ache.

It is the longing for something, some...thing, that nothing, no...thing in our grasping can ever fill. We must remember that all that is, is consecrated to His glory. That is, everything points to Him. Therefore in a sense all that is, is holy.

We make the mistake of trying to attach our inner emptiness to some particular experience, hoping to gain from the particular a taste of the transcendent. Yet all glorifies God. All is holy.

In forsaking the now of this sanctified moment we attempt to limit, control, and posses God. In the process though it is we who are limited, controlled, and possessed.

Who need search for what they already posses? All is holy.

"Do all to the glory of God." -1 Corinthians 10:31

"Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." - Psalm 46:10
