Quote by Henry Ward Beecher

There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away.

There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousand

Summary

This quote suggests that there are numerous opportunities for joy and spiritual growth in our lives, but often we fail to grasp them. The "joys" that are referred to can be seen as meaningful experiences or moments of enlightenment. These possibilities surround us like birds hovering around, wanting to enter our lives, but we often remain closed off to them. Consequently, we miss out on the potential insights and happiness they could bring. Instead, they briefly grace our lives, leave a temporary impression, and then fade away.
