There is a difference between longing and desire. I thought about this a great deal over the years as great longings were alive in me.

The children of Israel "wandered in the wilderness in a solitary place, their soul fainted in them."

God answered their cries and David records their deliverance. He said, "For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness." Psalm 107:4-9.

He gave them everything they longed for and they praised and worshiped Him for it.

Both desire and longing are synonyms, yet they are both distinct in their meanings. Longings are intensified much more than desires, though desires can be very powerful.

Those that have longings know it as a potent yearning, a pining and panting. There is a longing for home or a person, or people. It is an earnest, deep ache accompanied by sadness.

Great desires turn into intensified longings that go deeper, and gain strength in hope and in time. Nothing can tear away a person whose longing is in the Lord.

God in the end will satisfy your longing soul and fill your hungry soul with His goodness too. The answer will come. You can confidently rely on it. Amen and Amen.

His name and honor are at stake. Praise ye the Lord.

“The greater the difficulty to be overcome, the more will it be seen to the glory of God how much can be done by prayer and faith.”― George Muller
