Sometimes I feel my relationship with God has grown cold. I get consumed on thinking I need to do more-volunteering, bible studies, worship, quite time etc. I thought to myself, have I lost my focus? Why is it sometimes I feel so empty and fruitless. In the deepest depair of my heart I prayed, "Lord point out anything you find in me that makes you sad. Speak to me dear Lord". God has His own way of pointing out my weakness!
Last week dad was on the phone wishing a person celebrating his birthday. Before hanging up the phone call, dad told him to read Jeremiah 29:13. I overheard the conversation and was eager to find out the verse. Immediately I looked up and read it. It said, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." It just passed by my memory.
Later that Sunday we had a Sword-Drill in a Bible Study and the last Sword-Drill verse was "Jeremiah 29:13". I was baffled. I asked myself, "Lord, are you trying to say something to me?"
Few minutes later my eyes fell on the cover of my journal and to my surprise the verse was from "Jeremiah 29:13"! It was the third confirmation that God was trying to get my attention. He was trying to speak to me that I just needed to pursue after Him with ALL my heart. Not just seek Him with a part of my heart. God wants me. All of me!
That moment when I loose something precious and I search and search till I find it.The happiness of finding a precious thing that was lost is irreplaceable. God doesn’t hide where He can’t be found, but invites us to look for Him and find Him. That's what God was saying to me that He wants me to seek Him by having a deeper relationship with Him. He is longing to show His love. If I could just set aside time for Him and make Him my priority, He would be delighted to reveal Himself to me.
I realized that there is nothing more important than seeking God in my ways. When I go about my day, I want to keep him on my mind. Talk to Him and ask for His direction.
Remember, if you seek for Him in your everyday, you may become breathless with how frequently He twirls you around.
