“Teresa of Avila writes, “My soul suffers out of desire for You.” She is expounding on Psalm 84:2, “My soul pines for You.” “Pines” is an anguished, aching desire for your lover. When was the last time your heart ached for Jesus? Have you been up in the night with tears looking into His beauty? Have you pushed the plate away out of a lack of desire for food, overwhelmed with a desire for God?”
