Yearning For God

"Do you love to be much with God, to climb up near to God, to love and long and plead and wrestle and stretch after Him? Are you weaned from the world, from its praise, from the hatred, from the scorn? Do you give yourselves clean away to God, and all that is yours? Are you willing that your will should be lost in His great will? Do you throw yourself into the arms of God for time and for eternity? Oh, search your hearts and try them! Ask God to do it for you, and to “lead you in the way everlasting.”

Written by Robert Murray McCheyne, 1839
