'Longing' in the Bible
Like a servant longing for the evening shadow, and like a hired man looking for his wages,
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is like a tree of life.
It is better to be content with what the eyes can see than for one's heart always to crave more. This continual longing is futile -- like chasing the wind.
