In the list of words to ponder I'll take a quick look at the word longing. It was brought up by a friend of mine in a group meeting. My friend mentioned how C.S. Lewis thought it was a great apologetic for the existence of God; how we long for justice, morality, truth and how we just know that this world should be better. We also know it won't ever reach that. The longing we have is something that is implanted in us. Think about it, don't you watch the news (or better yet read blogs) and just know that things should be so much better in this world. All the social experiments have failed in various degrees, yet we still strive for more (and we should). The song "I Still Haven't Working For" by U2 speaks to that longing.
At the end of the day, I believe God has put that longing in us and that it will be fulfilled when Christ comes and makes everything right.
