We may have the hope of the Lord’s coming, being glad to get to the end of this desert, because it is a desert; or we may long to get out, because Canaan is at the end. If it is not the latter, we shall be in danger of being tired with running, which is always wrong. We should be in the spirit of waiting pilgrims, not weary ones. We ought not to be weary; I do not say we are not, but we ought to be ever desiring His coming, because He is precious.
In Revelations 22:17, the bride says “Come,” in answer to what He is, when He says,
“I am the bright and morning star.”
God does not reject the cry which comes to Him as “out of the depths”; but there is a difference between the cry of distress, and the cry of desire.
