I think you answered your own ...Ken, well written!<br /><br />I think you answered your own question at the end - Communion with Christ and following him. I was rewarded through my study this past week of Jesus' feeding the five thousand when he told the disciples "They do not need to go away", i.e., Jesus himself would provide for the needs of those who cleaved to him, even in this life. That's a comforting thought! It doesn't do away with the yearning for what we're confident in for the future, but it does suggest our yearnings in the present can be filled by looking to Christ, who provides both rest and contentment.<br /><br />I always appreciate your writing. You have a gift!All Things Reformedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921579806367678328noreply@blogger.com
