Finding and Seeking
Have you ever tried looking for something, like a watch, your keys, or your favorite book? You searched for it everywhere and chances are, you’re still searching for a lost item until now. What about the times when you found something when you’re not looking for it? Have you ever wondered why it’s like this?
It’s the same with God. When I found Him, I wasn’t looking for Him. I was looking for something else. I was wondering what on earth I am here for. I needed an explanation and I was looking for answers in magazines, the wrong source.
When I was a freshman in college, I was looking for a purpose yet I didn’t know that I was searching. But the great thing is God allowed me to find Him without me seeking for Him. Isn’t that great? I got the best answer and I can find it in the Bible.
My life has been great since I started my walk with my Maker. Sure there were days when I felt that life is conspiring against me. But the purpose of finding God is realizing the value of what you found. And now that I found Him, I will continue seeking Him.
Luke 15 has great stories on finding and seeking. There’s the shepherd who lost one sheep and left the 99 others to search for the lost one. The woman who lost a one coin searched for it in her home. And the popular story of the prodigal son. Notice that all parables ended in a celebration.
What’s amazing about this is that God chose you even before you were born. I didn’t choose God yet He chose me. He looked for me. That’s how precious we are to Him.
Our Daddy in heaven loves us so much. =)
