The greatest longings of our souls cannot be satisfied by forgiveness or joy or justice or heaven or anything else. The Bible tells us of a treasure hidden in a field and a man who gave up all he had to buy that field and acquire its treasure (Matthew 13:44). Yet behind them all there is a deeper longing, a brighter treasure, a higher good-God himself. There are many longings, many hungers and thirsts, that can drive us to the open arms of the Father. You want your children to become Christ followers, obedient to His commands, and fruitful in their faith. We want heaven, for we know we deserve hell. Families are shaped daily through the Word of God.
Harvest House Publishers’s most popular book is Bible Infographics for Kids: Giants. We want justice, for we lament that the righteous suffer while the evil flourish. Harvest House Publishers has 74 books on Goodreads with 1035 ratings. What is it that we, as Christians, long for? What is it that we crave? What is it that will quiet our restless hearts? We want forgiveness, for we know our rebellion. You are sure to discover a great read here.

This is a prayer God delights to answer, for he loves to meet our insufficiency with his bounty, our emptiness with his fullness.
This being the case, may we echo King David, who prayed, “Earnestly I seek you my soul thirsts for you my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water” (Psalm 63:1). It will lead only to weakness, pain, and death. To live apart from God is the spiritual equivalent of trying to live without food and water. Bruce says the deepest thirst of all is our thirst for God, and the reason is simple: The God who created us formed us in such a way that we are not meant to exist apart from him. Just as we cannot live physically without food and water, we cannot live spiritually without spiritual sustenance. And though we are often driven and motivated by our physical longings, deeper still are our spiritual longings. See Instagram photos and videos from Harvest House (harvesthousepublishers). Left to ourselves, we are incomplete and insufficient, feeble and sorely lacking.
