Every longing desire we have all stems from something greater. A void. A lack of something so essential to who we should be. On the surface, it all seems to be made of pain. We trace the longings and look back on our history to see every blow made by the people or circumstances we've encountered. But this too is false. Everything is being veiled by the Enemy. We try to find the source of our longings, and we eventually come upon a wall of pain. Discouraged, we quit our search until the longing, the pain, and the sorrow returns.

What if I told you that there was something beyond that wall? What if that wall was a lot less thick and impenetrable than you thought?
The ultimate longing, and what lies beyond the wall is this: our souls, our Heart of Hearts, the core of our very being is starving for Christ. Our need to follow and be loved by our Heavenly Father, to fellowship with Him, to be obedient, to bask in His eternal Grace, and to worship His holy Name is so great. If we walk away from that, if we reject that need, then the consequences spill over into every aspect of our lives. The enemy then jumps at the opportunity to hide the answer to the question of "what's wrong with me? why is everything so unclear, and why do I hurt so bad inside?" He does this because he doesn't want us to find Christ. But know this: our Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ, is big enough to crush any wall that Satan tries to build between Christ and ourselves. He makes everything clear. He loves us so much that even when we try to run from Him, He follows after, calling our name, holding out His arms. How great our God is, that He should give us the eternal gift of His unchanging love!
