`AS THE DEER PANTS FOR STREAMS OF WATER, SO MY SOUL PANTS FOR YOU, O GOD.` PSALM 42;1 - 11 ONE OF THE ROOTS OF SIN IS THE SPIRIT OF INDEPENDENCE: PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO FEEL THAT THEY DEPEND ON GOD FOR THEIR LIVES TO WORK. THEY MUCH PREFER TO DEPEND ON THEMSELVES. ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT BE EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO DENY THE ACHE IN THEIR SOUL RATHER THAN ADMIT TO IT, NOT TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT IS TO LIVE DANGEROUSLY. FATHER, HOW CAN I THANK YOU ENOUGH THAT MY SOUL HAS FOUND ITS `HOME` IN YOU. MY GRATITUDE AND JOY KNOW NO BOUNDS. BLESSED BE YOUR HOLY NAME FOREVER. AMEN.
