The Ache of Longing

Scripture  

Romans 8:23 (ESV)  

And not only the creation,  

but we ourselves,  

who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,  

groan inwardly as we wait eagerly  

for adoption as sons,  

the redemption of our bodies.

Refrain  

Even my longing is a form of prayer.

Quote 

St. John of the Cross  

“In the dark night of the soul,  

bright flows the river of God.  

The deeper the longing,  

the more spacious the soul.  

Love is not found in understanding—  

but in surrender.  

And when all else is stripped away,  

Desire alone becomes the door to union.”
