In the midst of work, friends, errands, bible studies and school it becomes easy to neglect the deepest longings of our heart and soul. They are longings that none of us can pinpoint or describe; they are pangs in our heart; senses of something more, something grand, something we need, but can’t grasp. These feelings arise at unexplainable and unexpected times. During certain seasons of our life we may feel detached from the deep longings, they become seemingly distant memories. But, sometimes the feelings are so real that we choose not to acknowledge them because... what do we do with these indescribable feelings anyway? Out of fear, we neglect our feelings because they can’t be put in a box. If the feelings were to unleash then we may not be able to control them. So, most people will simply greet the feelings for a moment; maybe get a warm fuzzy feeling of inspiration or possibly a deep saddening of reality......But, “Life goes on”. The years go by and there are moments in which we catch glimpses of these longings, but we usually just think of them as a “crazy thought” and continue “life”.
I have come to know these longings as the inner voice of love beckoning us to walk in the something more. The glimpses of something bigger are the dreams that God dreams for us. They are the dreams God has written on our heart. We yearn to walk in them, whether we acknowledge that or not. Are we too fearful to walk in them? What would happen if we were to become familiar with those feelings, the desires, the grand dreams?
What would happen if we did NOT let them pass us by?
