If you don’t feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.

Casting your anxiety on God is not simply a separate thing that you do after you humble yourself. It’s something you do in order to humble yourself or in the process of humbling yourself.
— John Piper
Very few of us know the secret of bathing our souls in silence. It was a secret our Lord Jesus Christ knew very well. There were times when He had to send the multitudes away so He could retire alone into the silence of the mountainside.

My faith rests not on what I am or shall be, or feel, or know, but in who Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me.
— Charles Spurgeon
The yearning to know what cannot be known, to comprehend the incomprehensible, to touch and taste the unapproachable, arises from the image of God in the nature of man. Deep calleth unto deep, and though polluted and landlocked by the mighty disaster theologians call the Fall, the soul sense its origin and longs to return to its source.
