All the Yearnings

I am reading again Sheldon Vanauken's book, A Severe Mercy, a love story indeed. 

As the author discusses what it was like to consider faith in Jesus, he writes:

"I had impulses to fall on my knees and reach out to him. I suspected that all the yearnings for I knew not what that I had ever felt. . . were in truth yearnings for him."

All the yearnings. For God!
