What you long for in life reveals what you love and what you love reveals who's you are.
Psalm 84:2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
There’s a very good reason why the children of God should long for the Father's House.
It’s a place to meet God.
I realize that the Lord is always with His children, Heb. 13:5; Matt. 28:20.
I also realize that God dwells in His children, Col. 1:27; 1 Cor. 6:19; John 14:18.
But I also know that He has promised to meet with His people when they gather together to worship Him, Matt. 18:20.
Psalm 42:1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
As the deer . . . .

“As the deer panteth for the water — So my soul longeth after thee. — You alone are my heart’s desire — And I long to worship thee
Chorus
“You alone are my strength, my shield; — To You alone may my spirit yield. — You alone are my heart’s desire — And I long to worship Thee.
“You’re my friend and You are my brother, — Even though You are a king. — I love You more than any other, — So much more than anything.
I want You more than gold or silver, — Only You can satisfy. — You alone are the real joy giver — And the apple of my eye.
