"And you will seek Me and you will find Me if you search for Me with ALL your heart."
I am seeking God. My heart is crying out to know Him more - to really know Him as my best Friend! I've read that verse before thinking, "Oh, I'll seek God and I'll find Him! Yeah for me." But...no. That's not it. It says,
"If you search for Me with ALL of your heart." That means no other competing affections - no idols - nothing that takes place over Christ. Do you know how hard that is? Do I know how hard that is? To actually take things out of your life that you love and hold dear, and totally remove it, so that you can learn to love Christ better, is not easy. But I know that whenever God calls me to do something He will ALWAYS be right beside me, holding my hand, and and gently nudging me out of the boat. I need to remind myself of that......because too much I focus on what I will be loosing, instead of looking at everything I will be gaining! There's the old slogan that says, "No pain, no gain." How true.
Dear friends, pray for me. That I would seek Christ with ALL of my heart. With ALL of my soul. And with ALL of my being. I want to know, to really know, the Creator of the universe. I want Him to fill me.....not empty, earthly things that don't last.
So, as I finish writing this, and go back to real life, I am beginning a quest.
A quest to seek God with ALL my heart.
Will you join me?
YES. Of course. I'd love to join you! :D
