Revel in the Wonder
Seeking God begins
with reveling in the wonder that He first loved me. I didn’t go after
Him. I didn’t pursue His heart or try to win His affection. He first
loved me.
There is no greater wonder than this—that He loved first.
"We love Him because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19)
Thank You, God
I could sit and soak in that truth for a lifetime. You first loved me.
Before I came to You as a five-year-old child . . . You loved me.
Before I understood how easily I could fall into traitorous sin . . . You loved me.
Before I learned to press into You for grace to counter temptation’s draw . . . You loved me.
Before I realized that memorizing Your Word is a doorway to unearthing hidden treasure . . . You loved me.
Before I applied myself to spiritual exercise in order to mature . . . You loved me.
You knew me at my worst, and yet You still chose me and extended Your love to me.
Are You Amazed?
In order to seek God, begin by letting Him know how amazed you are
that He would seek you. That He would choose you and call you to
Himself. |
