I have sometimes wondered what it would be like to be rich and famous…have you?
I mean really. Yes. There would be some great perks…but then again…who could you really trust to love you…for you? I have wondered if that is what it is like for God at times too.
Honestly now…didn’t we all come to out of our great need? However…there comes a time, when…He calls us just to love Him…live for Him…seek His face…purely out of sheer devotion. And, not for what we can receive from Him.
“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 31:13
The original Hebrew for the words “search” along with the phrase “all your heart” is revealing: It implies a quest for God that includes a level of intensity beyond ordinary prayer…suggesting an earnestness bordering on desperation, a note in my Bible tells me.
I want this to be my heart…always. Because truly…I am desperate for Him…His presence every minute of every day…anything else is a less-than life. Want to join me?
He is waiting for our whole hearts.
