My heart is full, Lord, so full of desire for You. Perhaps tomorrow will come and I will forget this feeling, but what if I don't? What if tomorrow I wake and I long for even more? What if I stopped longing for earthly things, and only had You as the only One I long for?
That will destroy me. How amusing. The very thought that it will destroy my very person doesn't upset me. Instead, it makes me wonder if I have missed the point of life up until now. I feel as if, very soon I will be like the man who wrote these words,
"For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better. But if I live, I can do more fruitful work for Christ. So I really don’t know which is better. I’m torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me." (Philippians 1:21-23)
Yes, very much so. I am not afraid, for "every seed dies before it grows."
Postscript: Indeed, the things of this earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of Christ's glory and grace.
