"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jer 29:13
These words resonate as a gentle breeze, beckoning us to a sacred journey of intimacy with the Divine, an exploration that transcends mere curiosity and demands the entirety of our hearts. The promise is clear: 'You will seek me and find me.' It's an assurance that the pursuit of God is not a futile endeavor; rather, it is a venture that yields the precious discovery of His presence. As we step into the embrace of seeking, we find that the Divine is not elusive but ever-present, waiting to be encountered in the depths of our hearts. 'When you seek me with all your heart.' The depth of our seeking determines the depth of our finding. "In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." Prov 16:9
This verse is an invitation to engage in a wholehearted pursuit, an undivided quest for the One who holds the mysteries of life. In the tapestry of intimacy, partial endeavors fade away, replaced by the beauty of an earnest, all-encompassing search for God. In the pursuit of intimacy with God, every corner of our hearts becomes sacred ground. It's not a mere transaction but a transformation, a journey where the seeker is shaped by the very presence they seek. "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Eph 2:10. The contours of our desires, fears, and dreams become avenues through which we encounter the Divine, fostering a connection that transcends words. "Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Ps 37:4
As we step into the rhythm of seeking God with all our hearts, may our narrative be one of depth, authenticity, and transformative communion. In this sacred journey, we find not just answers to our questions but a profound intimacy that nourishes our souls, aligns our purpose, and unveils the boundless love waiting to be discovered. May our hearts be attuned to the whisper of Jere 29:13, guiding us into the sacred space where seeking becomes finding, and intimacy with God becomes the anchor of our existence.
"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." Ps 119:105. As the new year unfolds, let the foundation of our journey be anchored in delighting in the presence of the Word. May our hearts find joy in this sacred communion, aspirations align with His will, and desires refined by the touch of divine wisdom.
This verse invites us not only to seek but to savor, to find joy not just in what we ask for but in the One from whom all blessings flow. As the calendar turns, consider this: the desires of our heart are not arbitrary wishes but intricately intertwined with the rhythm of God's purpose for our life. Delighting in the Lord isn't a means to an end; it's the end itself. the fulfillment of the deepest yearnings of the human spirit. So, as the new year unfolds its chapters, let the narrative of our life echo the melody of delight in the Lord. Seek Him not just for what He can give but for who He is. In the dance of intimacy, find our heart's desires mirrored in His purpose, and may the journey of this year be a testament to the beauty of a soul intertwined with its Creator. "In all your ways, submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Prov 3:6
