Yearning

How lovely is your dwelling place,
O LORD Almighty!

My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.

Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.

~Psalm 84:1-3

Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
~Psalm 84:5

My high school choir sang a version of this psalm by Brahms, and ever since then, I have adored these words. What a great reminder of our future hope!
