There is a place in every person where the true self resides. A place where all masks are hung on a tarnished hook by the door. A place no one knows except that person that resides there – that person and the Other.
We can’t explain the reality of this inner most place but from our core we know it is true – we know it exists – we know we exist.
That is why Psalm 42 resonates with us. The psalmist says, “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you O God.” And later in that same psalm we read, “deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.”
There is a part of us that longs for something more. We may put up a front or put on a mask and pretend we have it all together – that nothing can touch us. But the reality is that in our deepest self, we long for God. Deep calls to deep.
Today, call out to God.
No other can bring fulfillment. No other can satisfy.
Be blessed!
