peace. it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
I cannot even express the longing that my soul and heart feels. Every day, I look at the clouds passing overhead, hoping... just hoping that they might roll back and reveal your coming glory.
Not a day goes by that I not to feel pangs of homesickness— homesickness for a home that I have never seen.
Even now, I wish I could close my eyes and only open them when your face is before me.
Every tear I am shedding is counted by you... just know, they are tears of longing for your face.
my soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. ps84.2
