Desire
/dəˈzī(ə)r/
a strong feeling of wanting to have something; wishing for something to happen
Do you desire Jesus? Does your heart ache for the need to welcome that in-dwelling?
Mine does. Every single day. No matter how much I pray I always want him. I could go to Mass everyday and still want to be in his presence more and more. I call to him all day long thru ceaseless prayer...
...and still my desire remains strong. Unending. Unyielding.
My favorite holy Christmas song (and my favorite version). Where J.S. Bach expresses the desire to have Jesus in our lives. For his sacrifice only can we "drink of joy from deathless springs."
In my human-ness I wonder how God can possibly be there for all of us in our wanting, our grasping. Yet he is - even giving us the promise of that joy.
The joy of man's desiring.
