All my longings lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.
Proverbs 13:12
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
Proverbs 13:19
A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul
2 Corinthians 5:2
Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling.
Psalm 37:4-7
4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probably explanation is that I was made for another world.
