(Jeremiah 29:12&13) Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

The world is inundated with theories, religious ideas, and deceptions concerning God.    From denying God’s existence to religious fanaticism, the topic of a god or gods has been with us since the beginning.  All of us have chosen to be aligned with one or more opinions about God. 

The Bible contains many invitations from God for us to find him.  Is he real, does he care about us, can we really know him?  He makes it clear that if we respond to his invitation, we won’t be disappointed.  We will find the answer to our questions.

Think of seeking God as a great adventure.  He has a kingdom filled with wonderful treasures that can be yours.  Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls.  When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it (see Matthew 13:45&46).”  In this world we seek out many things, but God and his kingdom is the greatest find and worthy of giving up everything else.

As I write this blog post, I do it with full confidence shored up by more than forty years of walking with our loving God.  If you seek him with all your heart, you will find him.  He wants us to come to him; he desires a relationship with all of us.
