It is the yearning for Me the heart feels, for it desires its true home

You know of the conversations I have had in the last couple of days with others of the heart sadness with life. What is this something within that senses disappointment with life even though life has given some wonderful things? Why would one spend her young life married, with children now about to leave on their own, and would want to be free from her marriage to explore other things, even though she still loves her husband? Why would another desire to leave for a different place, without family, to be free on her own, yet still want to be with her family? Why a third see her life is not ending the way she had envisioned, always had hoped for?

When asked, all of them could not articulate these deep desires, did not know what was moving them this way, yet each felt the heartache within of unfulfilled hope. In each, and at various times I have felt this way too; there is this desire to be somewhere else, doing something else. It speaks of depression, a sadness that life should be something else than it has been. We see others supposedly happy, with the future secure, the possessions of a successful life, happy families – the kind of life we have always wanted. Are all secretly dissatisfied? Are none truly happy? Why are we not content?

We have spoken a few times before of this: how the heart can only be truly satisfied to be as it has been created. I have made the heart to find its complete fullness in Me; anything less than that fulfillment leads the heart to dissatisfaction. As it should, for it was not made to respond to possessions, nor gauge its happiness compared to others, yet it seeks these things as if in them it may be complete.

Many spend their entire lives trying to have a joyful heart this way, whether rich or poor, yet find no satisfaction. Still, the heart knows the true answer to its depression, but the mind of man continues to overrule, for the mind does not want to seek Me, but to find its purpose on its own, as if it knows what that purpose is to be, and would recognize it when seen.

The heart is led astray this way, follows meekly yet cries to be released, to discover its own way in Me. Only a few have released their hold upon the heart that it might be free to search for Me. It is the yearning for Me the heart feels, for it desires its true home. It is the prodigal son – the search for its fulfillment its own way, and when success is not reached, remembers the place where love is fulfilled, desires met, where home always remains.

I sense your sadness for those you have met facing this difficulty. You can only offer the Light, for it alone knows the way. Anything else would only keep them pursuing the same path. You sense the Light, the love of the kingdom, for you too in the past have walked the way they are now; you too know the disappointment of a life not flowing with the abundance of all things you have desired.

Still, you are here. You sense the draw of your heart to Me, and you are beginning to experience the joy of this journey, as if this is the way you have always wanted to experience life: one of the unknown, great possibility, great potential, great purpose. And indeed it is the way of fulfillment, yet only the beginning. It is this hopeful journey you share, that others might perhaps be inspired to begin their journey this way too. You can only offer the possibility; they must take the first step into it on their own. It must be their decision – their decision for Me.
