Because your soul is the part of you that was made in the image of God, and your soul will never be satisfied, never be complete, never be content, until it finds communion with God, and can fellowship with its creator.
Our bodies will die and turn back to dust, but the soul has a longing for God because the soul is eternal and will live forever.

Man’s longing to see God who is Absolute is not satisfied unless he sees God in a human form. A special manifestation of God’s power in anyone is sufficient indicat…
What do we expect from God? What if he did something we did not expect? Ears have not heard, eyes have not seen what God will accomplish for those who “wait on him.”
There’s a longing in every heart that only Jesus can satisfy
Even though we may know that life without God at the center is a life that has lost the most important piece, do we live as though He isn’t particularly relevant?
Satisfying the Longing of Your Soul
Dybdahl refers to a “double longing” of God for us, yet the focus is on our “striving,” our “hunger,” our “thirst,” and not on God’s grace, his feeding us, his quenching of that thirst.
