There is in all of us, an innate yearning for God.
Most of the time, we do not feel it.
As Garrigou Langrange said, in this life,
often we do not experience that need for God.
As a result we can go years content with what and how our life is.
But sooner or later, comes that knocking at our door.
We started questioning, asking if there is not more to this life than there is.
That is the beginning of awakenings.
What brings about awakenings?
Your own soul.
You are spirit and body.
When the needs of your body are met, you are happy.
But material things cannot satisfy the deeper needs of your soul.
As a result, you started longing, yearning, and hunger for something more.
Like a stone pulled towards the center,
You find yourself pulled toward your Infinite Creator.
Your physical self might have forgotten the fact you come from him.
Your spirit self does not.
As St. Augustine said, our hearts are restless, O Lord, until they rest in you.
Those inner pulls of your soul can be a beautiful aspiration for the divine.
Or it can be a strong pull, where you are one with the source around you.
Oblivious to everything else and in that moment,
you come face to face with your maker and know your maker.
It could be that light shining in your darkness.
Whatever however it happens.
When the Divine comes knocking at your door.
Hear it, listen to it and follow it.
It will lead you to your soul's desire, to God, the Infinite Creator.
