As I've been reading this book... I was (actually, surprisingly... but this reveals something in itself) most challenged in this question: "how hungry am I for God?"
"I want more of You, at any cost."
And as I was contemplating on pain... The controversies that I didn't even know existed about the role of pain. How God looks at pain. Driving, listening to On Fire by Switchfoot, missing my highway exit twice. Trying to make connections...
Well. All I know is that I want them to meet Jesus. Healer. Really, meet Him. It surely is the only way.
It hit me, that yearning is a part of hungering for Him.
"You can't hunger for something that doesn't exist."
If there is anything in the world that you want more and more of, the more you know it... it is Him.
We yearn, but we might not even know.
