Our Desires

"What a blessing it is when all our desires are
after the things of God! .... Desires which can be put off
and on like our garments are at best but mere wishes, and possibly they are
hardly true enough to be called by that name, — they are temporary
emotions born of excitement, and doomed to die when the heat which
created them has cooled down." CH Spurgeon The Golden Alphabet

David knew this so well - he said in Psalm 119:20
"My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all times."
