In recent months I am paying more attention than ever to the reality that God has been and is seeking me. He's the One who took the initiative to create us and redeem us. He came to "seek and save" us (Luke 19:10). He is revealed as the God Who is love. The love which is His very essence is a love that is impossible to get our minds around. We are invited, Paul says, to explore the full scope of it- to experientially know its height, depth, length, width and breadth! When we begin to experience even a little of God's love, we're undone. Ruined! We become love sick and our response is to seek Him.
When the Bible speaks of seeking God we are tempted to interpret that as our responsibility, which makes it feel like a duty. When we yield to the embrace of His love, seeking Him becomes a delight, an opportunity, a privilege, but not an obligation. In my journey, yielding to this has been a learning curve. I'm not there yet! The door is open, just a crack, but it's open and opening.
Will you open the door? Ask your Advocate, the Holy Spirit, to help you open it, so you may lean into His embrace and experience the love of the One Who has been seeking you.
