I have read of a bird, which if caught and caged never ceases to sigh, until it obtains its liberty, or dies. I am somewhat like that bird, and I expect I shall continue to sigh until I obtain my desire.
I have had a glimpse of Jesus and I sigh for a full view of Him.
I have tasted the sweetness of communion with Him and I sigh for uninterrupted fellowship.
I have felt a little of the cleansing influence of His precious blood, and Holy Spirit and I sigh for a thorough cleansing, that I may be perfectly and forever holy.
I sigh for Jesus that I may know Him more perfectly,
love Him more entirely, and
enjoy Him uninterruptedly!
I sigh to be exactly like Jesus!
I sigh to be forever with Jesus!
I believe that if I were just like Him, and always with Him that I would sigh no more; and I think that nothing else will put a complete stop to my sighing.
Yes, the day is coming, and it may be very near when the days of my mourning will be ended, and when I shall heave the last sigh, and begin the never-ending song!
My sorrows will soon end, and my sighing will forever cease! I shall soon be with Jesus, like Jesus, and everlastingly employed in praising Jesus! And then, I shall sigh no more!
[James Smith]
Isaiah 51:11 ... Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.❤
