"Homesickness" for God

In various Bible studies that I have attended in recent years, the theme of constantly seeking a closer relationship with our Lord has been a common one - for all ages. In today's reading, the words that related to this "searching" were,  "Your yearning for me is a form of homesickness; longing for your home in heaven." It helped me realize that God wants us to  continually seek a closer relationship with Him as we yearn for His Love and Presence. It's a lifelong yearning and part of His Plan for us.

I found that the lyrics in "You Are My All in All" spoke especially to me in today's worship time as I meditated on today's devotional and scriptures. 

Do you have this kind of "yearning?" What are some of the ways that you respond to this yearning?
