Sehnsucht

The Scottish Highlands

Dear readers, I would like to share with you an article from Focus on the Family's blog that evinces and expresses thoughts and feelings that I have long been unable to put into words.  
I am humbled by the reminder that the Lord and Creator of the universe knows me intimately (Psalm 139:1-16) - even better than I know myself - and has placed certain longings, hopes, and desires in my heart for a purpose. 

(You are probably wondering what the word sehnsucht means... read on to fine out!)

Focus Insights: Longing for a Far Country Never Visited

The smell of a spring breeze... the Scottish Highlands... the book Les Miserables...beautiful poems...an ocean storm...ballet...Bach's Prelude in C Major...historical old buildings...

What are some of the things that stir within you that "inconsolable longing"?

May such thoughts and feelings bring us to worship our Lord more and incite us to say, like the Psalmist, "With my whole heart I seek you" (Psalm 119:10).
