“I need words as wide as sky. I need a language large as this longing inside. And I need a voice bigger than mine. I need a song to sing you that I’ve yet to find.” -David Crowder Band

I’m convinced that, in every part of our being, there is a longing. Every human, whether they know it or not, lives with an emptiness in their soul. This is obvious if we stop and look at our world. We relentlessly pursue things like success, money, fame, and power with the hope that these things will give us life. There is something inside us that makes us keenly aware that we are not complete; we need something other than ourselves. What if the world realized that what we really long for cannot be seen, touched, or purchased? That we are called to surrender the very lives we try so hard to control?

I hope this blog can be a place to explore the depths of God’s love for us. As we read and respond, may we come closer to a language “large as this longing” for the fullness of God.
