How Our Hearts Yearn

Wow when we start to realize how much we miss a relationship, it hurts. It’s been just over a week since my sister has gone to be with the Lord. The longing to see her again is crazy, someone that was always there, just a call away, a ride across town to visit. How our hearts yearn for contact with someone that’s not there in our lives any longer. 
Just thinking about this makes me wonder how we can live on without God. That relationship that’s just a prayer away, the knowing of a great love and yet some don’t desire it, some don’t hurt for it, some don’t long for it, and some don’t yearn for it. Do some even know what they’re missing? Or have they hardened their hearts. Either way they are hurting for the love of a Savior. Some just don’t know it and have filled that hole with anything that comes along. Oh the day that Christ is in every heart. I pray for that day and that it comes soon, so that no one misses out on the love we can find in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 3:17
Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.
