The More I Seek You...

Have you heard that song that says "The more I seek you, the more I find you.  The more I find you, the more I love you..."  I can certainly understand the writer's heart in this.  Many times in my life I have sought God and asked Him to meet me.  Many of those times I walk away wondering why He didn't speak to me or give me an answer to the question I was seeking Him on.  I have been very convicted lately that in my immaturity I was giving up way too prematurely.  Sometimes we hear from God right away and other times we really have to press in.  I think that sometimes He may hold back because He knows the reward that follows when we go deeper in Him. 

I, so often, fall into the trap of thinking that I am too busy to take the time to spend with Him but I have never regretted the time I have spent with Him afterwords.  He always redeems the time for me and amazingly I seem to get more done on a day that I take time with Him. The thing that amazes me over and over again is how much He blesses me when I take the time to press in and spend time with Him. He deserves all praise, all glory and all honor, but when I give it to Him I always get so much in return. There is no other God that is so loving and so giving! He takes me, in that time, and transforms me into the best me that I can be.  Only He can do that and when we limit our time with Him so much, we limit what He can do with us and through us. We need to know Him and allow Him to show us those things that we are unaware of about ourselves that need to be changed.  So I challenge you to really press in, even beyond what you normally would, and watch what He does...
