The Longing in Me Quotes

“You’re chosen by the One who will never unchoose you. You’re loved when the crowd cheers and when the lights go out and they all go home.”
― Sheila Walsh, The Longing in Me: How Everything You Crave Leads to the Heart of God

“David would enter the crucible of suffering where truly great servants of God are made. Perhaps you are there now. One of the most devastating realities of this kind of suffering is that often the one you thought would be your protector becomes the one who measures out the pain. All that longing for justice, for fairness, for having everything as it should be seems useless. As you think on the glory days of the past, your heart aches to turn back the clock, but you can’t. In these moments it’s tempting to believe that God has forgotten about us, or even worse, that He simply doesn’t care—His favor has moved on. If you are there right now, my heart aches for you. No one signs up for this school of suffering, and yet the deep work that God does in this painful, lonely place is rarely produced anywhere else.”
