December 6, 2012

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves." Ephesians 1:3-6
 
"We love because he first loved us." I John 4:19
 
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me." Rev. 3:20
 
What a blessing to have a God who seeks you!
 
Most of the false gods, past and present, are gods who remain aloof and detached from their adherents. In some instances, there are gods who are vengeful and vindictive. They delight in being unapproachable.
 
Not your God! Not my God!
 
Our God, the God of the Bible, wants to be known and has a deep desire to know you! He has used all of His vast might and power to make it possible for you to know Him and to be known by Him.There is nothing more He can do - except seek us and call us to Himself.
 
And, He does that constantly! Like the Prodigal's father, God stands daily on the road home hoping to catch a glimpse of you heading toward Him. As in the Garden, God comes seeking you so you can walk together in communion and fellowship!
 
Our God, your God, came in the Person of His Son, Jesus born in a manger in Bethlehem on that first Christmas "to seek and to save those who were lost".
 
Just think about the most Holy and powerful Being in all the universe - the very Creator of this universe - has a passionate desire to know you and seeks you for a personal spiritual relationship!
 
Contrast that to the petty pagan gods worshipped by others. What a glorious difference!Pagan gods make unrealistic and burdensome demands on their people that change on a whim and offer no guarantees. Our God sought us, continues to seek us and comes to our door seeking a relationship with us!
 
What a God!
 
The question is, "Will you be found by a seeking God?"
 
"But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul." Deuteronomy 4:29
