Thirsty for the Altogether Lovely One

"The LORD is good to all,

and his mercy is over all that he has made."

Psalm 145:9

What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy?
. . . . And what if trials of this life
Are Your mercies in disguise?

"I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer.
You are yourself the answer.
Before your face questions die away.
What other answer would suffice?"
~C.S. Lewis
