This morning I woke up with these
words on my heart and mind; "Don't lose yourself trying to find something
God already said he would give you”.
As I went about my activities, the
Lord showed me a scene of a young lady looking all over the house for a set of
car keys, this lady was making frantic efforts to find this key. Then He showed
me another scene, the mother of the lady was telling her that the Car keys were
with her father. Now, the irony here is that the conversation between the two
ladies happened before she started searching for the Keys. Then the Lord laid a
scripture on my heart. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all other things
shall be added unto you. I understood immediately. The lady had been told where
the keys were, but she was wasting time energy AMD resources looking everywhere
but the one place she could actually find the keys. Then He asked me a
question, could it be that so many people have not found what they are looking
for because they haven't found me?
God has everything and more that we
need, but we find ourselves unable to get those exact things because we haven't
found God.
You’re probably saying to yourself
that you've been looking for Jesus and still can't find him. Let me tell you why.
Seeds need certain conditions to grow, good soil, water, sunlight and the
likes. The only condition you need to satisfy in finding God, is seeking him
with all your heart. If you seek me you will find me, if you seek with all your
heart. God wants us to be intentional about it, like the way a man pursues a
woman he wants till he cuffs her with a wedding ring, God wants us to seek him
earnestly. Finding God will teach you patience, it will teach you unconditional
love, finding God is not a one day show. It is a process! A process that will
chip away the substandard you, little by little, till you finally come to the
fullness of God as seen in Ephesians 4. The only time you’re allowed to lose
yourself is in the pursuit of God. Have you lost yourself trying to get a job,
to get a man or woman, to get an education, have you lost the relationship you
have with your first love just because you're trying to find something, He
already said He would give you, elsewhere?.
Is it really worth losing yourself,
when he has already said that He makes all things beautiful in His Time! Jesus will give you all,
not some, ALL! In totality He will
give you all you need, when you seek him and find him. Stop, you’re running in
circles, come find Jesus!
Be blessed!
