“Upon suffering beyond suffering: the Red Nation shall rise again and it shall be a blessing for a sick world. A world filled with broken promises, selfishness and separations.

“A woman who fears the Lord will not run away from God to satisfy her longings and relieve her anxieties. She will wait for the Lord. She will hope in God. She will stay close to the heart of God and trust in his promises. The prospect of departing into the way of sin will be too fearful to pursue; and the benefits of abiding in the shadow of the Almighty too glorious to forsake.” WayHeartRunningWaitingSinLordPromiseAnxietyBenefitsShadowLongingPursueGloriousRunning AwayFearfulAlmightyAbidingForsakeDepartingHope In God Author:John Piper

“For paradise we long. For perfection we were made...This longing is the source of the hunger and dissatisfaction that mark our lives...This longing makes our loves and friendships possible, and so very unsatisfactory. The hunger is for...nothing less than perfect communion with the...one in whom all the fragments of our scattered existence come together...we must not stifle this longing. It is a holy dissatisfaction. Such dissatisfaction is not a sickness to be healed, but the seed of a promise to be fulfilled...The only death to fear is the death of settling for something less.” LongMadeTogetherPerfectExistenceOur LivesSourceHolyPromisePerfectionMarkLongingHungerSeedsSettlingParadiseSicknessFulfilledCommunionOur LoveFragmentsHealedDissatisfactionLove And Friendship Author:Richard John Neuhaus
“The sense that in this universe we are treated as strangers, the longing to be acknowledged, to meet with some response, to bridge some chasm that yawns between us and reality, is part of our inconsolable secret. And surely, from this point of view, the promise of glory, in the sense described, becomes highly relevant to our deep desire. For glory meant good report with God, acceptance by God, response, acknowledgment, and welcome into the heart of things. The door on which we have been knocking all our lives will open at last.” HeartMeanHas BeensRealityLastsDesireUniverseViewsSecretOur LivesDoorsAcceptancePromiseGloryLongingResponseStrangerPoint Of ViewTreatedWelcomeBridgesReportsRelevantKnockingAcknowledgmentChasmsDeep Desire Author:C.

“Mortal beauty often makes me ache, and mortal grandeur can fill me with that longing...but Paris, Paris drew me close to her heart, so I forgot myself entirely. Forgot the damned and questing preternatural thing that doted on mortal skin and mortal clothing. Paris overwhelmed, and lightened and rewarded more richly than any promise.” HeartPromiseSkinsLongingMortalsParisClothingsOverwhelmedAcheGrandeur Author:Anne Rice
“For this is what we do. Put one foot forward and then the other. Lift our eyes to the snarl and smile of the world once more. Think. Act. Feel. Add our little consequence to the tides of good and evil that flood and drain the world. Drag our shadowed crosses into the hope of another night. Push our brave hearts into the promise of a new day. With love; the passionate search for truth other than our own. With longing; the pure, ineffable yearning to be saved. For so long as fate keeps waiting, we live on.” ThinkingWorldFeelsHeartLittlesLongEyeNightEvilWaitingFateFeetPromisePureConsequenceCrossesLongingAddBravePassionateSavedLiftsGood And EvilYearningTidesDragFloodNew DayShantaramDrainsSearch For TruthIneffableBrave Heart Author:Gregory David Roberts
