Wisdom's Words: Desires


“Desires bound by the will of God, and centered in the enjoyment of God will be granted to their utmost extent.  God did not raise them to be our torment, but our rest…But I have desired a thousand times on my knees, and yet it has not been granted.  Yet is it not worth being on our knees a thousand times more?  May not the blessing be withheld a while, till our sensibility of need be quickened, or to prepare us ultimately for a richer enjoyment?”  ~Charles Bridges
