'Yearn' in the Bible
For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our [immortal, eternal] celestial dwelling,
while they also, by prayer on your behalf, yearn for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you.
For God is my witness how I yearn over all of you with tender Christian affection.
Therefore, my fellow believers, whom I love and long for, my delight and crown [my wreath of victory], in this way stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
and as I recall your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.
And yearn like newborn infants for pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up to salvation,
And in those days people will seek death and will not find it; and they will long to die [to escape the pain], but [will discover that] death evades them.
