"Like the deer that yearns
for running streams,
so my soul is yearning
for you, my God.
My soul is thirsting for God,
the god of my life
when can I enter
and see the face of God?"
~ Psalm 42

Sometimes I love Our Lord so much that it feels like my heart will burst. He's all I want. He's the sum of my desires. He's everything...He's my very life.
And I wonder how I can love Him so much, and yet, choose things that are less?
I see how far away I am from Him, and see that I can experience this love...and how insignificant it is in the face of His own Sacrifice of Love for me. I look at my life and where I am, and almost despair of ever finally meeting Him face to face, for eternity.
And then I realize that Our Lord does not want us to look at where we are, but where He is calling us to be.

Great post. I love Psalm 42. We used to sing this psalm at mass in my old choir. It's one of my favorites.
