With summer now in full swing the heat
waves are hitting hard, especially as we have not had the normal rain
fall we are used too. I am longing for those late afternoon thunder
storms that cooled off the day.
Longing for and missing the rain has
brought with it a flood of emotion with missing my Honey-Bear. I had
come to feel that I had moved on and accepted his loss but a flood of
emotion has brought it all back.
Longing and yearning aren't new to
mankind and David expressed it well when he wrote, “As the deer
pants for the water, so my soul longs after you. You alone are my
hearts desire and I long to worship you.”
The beautiful difference between
longing for rain and longing for God is that unlike longing for rain,
where the end is unsure, we can be assured that as we long for God,
He indeed can make His presence felt in an instant.
