The Inconsolable Longing

Got this quote of C.S. Lewis off of my Pastor's blog a few minutes ago.  All I can say is WOW and how true.....


C.S. Lewis called it “the inconsolable longing,” writing:







“There have been times when I think we do not desire heaven, but more often I find myself wondering whether in our heart of hearts, we have ever desired anything else. . . . It is the secret signature of each soul, the incommunicable and unappeasable want, the thing we desired before we met our wives or made our friends or chose our work, and which we shall still desire on our deathbeds when the mind no longer knows wife or friend or work.”
