Deepest Longings

We are relational beings and it is in our nature to seek for companionship, love, and care. We oftentimes find ourselves longing for someone to talk to and share our burdens with. We lift our prayers to heaven with deepest longings only heaven can fathom. We are desperate for love and we look for it in every place we find our selves in — home, workplace, school, church, internet/facebook/IG, etc.

However, do we realize that what we are looking for is knee-high away, prayer away? Do we realize that what our souls desire is just found in the pages of this old history book (as many call it, but it certainly is more than that) — the Bible?

Here’s an inspiring testimony from a prophet of God:

“With the Word of God in his hands, every human being, wherever his lot in life may be cast, may have such companionship as he shall choose. In its pages he may hold converse with the noblest and best of the human race, and may listen to the voice of the Eternal as He speaks with men. As he studies and meditates upon the themes into which ‘the angels desire to look,’ he may have their companionship. He may follow the steps of the heavenly Teacher, and listen to His words as when He taught on mountain and plain and sea. Lift Him Up, p. 56

God bless!
