"Today the heart of God is an open wound of love. He aches over our distance and preoccupation. He mourns that we do not draw near to Him. He grieves that we have forgotten Him. He weeps over our obsession with muchness and manyness. He longs for our presence." Richard Foster

Need I say more? What emotive words...this quote oozes with feelings and emotions...it is saturated with such heartfelt desires and feelings...they do seem to drip out from a Vessel which is beyond containing all that is in it...its waiting to pour out onto whatever/whoever will recieve what it has to give. The illustration I thought that best represents this point is a sponge which can't hold more moisture, it constantly drips...but maybe my mind works differently!

Think about that quote, I reckon Foster has hit the nail on the head! He's quite a clever man as far as that quote goes in my opinion!
