Proverbs tells us that when our hope is deferred it makes our very heart sick. However, when a longing is fulfilled, we are filled with life. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/Gone-So-Long-But-Home-At-Last-4306 2008-08-27T16:58:02-05:00 And deep down inside the soul of each of us is a longing for home that is hard to explain and even harder to satisfy. There's this spiritual homesickness - you can call it restlessness or incompleteness or just the absence of inner peace. Some who feel like they've never had a home think that they would have peace if they could find a home. But then those who've had a fair amount of love and acceptance are strangely homesick in their soul, too.
