As I sang “I Want to Yearn for You” in worship on a recent Sunday, I puzzled over how one stirs up a sense of yearning. Then I felt God say that HE initiated yearning: “God so loved that He gave . . .” Jn. 3:16. Our yearning is simply a response to His love. Look around you. Do you see God’s handiwork in nature? Has He been a faithful Friend? Are you touched by His followers who are His hands extended in mercy and grace? And when you read His Word, is your heart stirred by His yearning to fellowship with you? Respond to God’s yearning for a deeper relationship with you. Make it your priority for summer 2011!
