Seeking Christ. That’s what we’re learning about in Girls for God this year…among lots of other things! What does seeking Christ look like? Sound like? Feel like?
Jeremiah 29:13 says "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with your whole heart."
What does it mean to seek something? Have you ever thought about it? Seeking means to look for, search for, go after. When I came across this verse about a year and a half ago I was curious. Could this really work? Was He serious? If I started looking for God, I’d find Him? I was already saved at the time, but wanted more. I decided to take Him up on His offer. I began reading everything in sight; whatever I could get my hands on-the Bible, Bible studies, books-you name it, I was probably reading it. A strange thing happened, my hunger for knowledge about Him just got worse, I couldn’t cure it. It was like I couldn't get enough.
What did I find through all of this? I found Him. Looking back I learned He was teaching me and changing me and my thoughts in the process of all the reading I was doing. I searched-I found. He does keep His promises. I knew that mentally before I had started my quest-but He proved it to me literally-I experienced it first-hand. I’m still seeking Him and still learning, just as so many of you are. It doesn’t ever stop. But, WOW! What a journey we’re on.
Your Turn:
Don't take my word for it. You have to test this stuff out for yourself. Start searching! Go on and do it. What have you got to lose? Pray and ask Him to help you. Ask Him to give you wisdom as you start reading His Word. He'll take care of the rest.
We'll continue to discover these things in GFG and I hope you will as well. He loves us so much.
