YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME when you seek Me with all your heart.
I don’t expect perfection in this pursuit; it’s not about that at all. It is the effort itself that pleases Me—when you keep on seeking Me even though it’s so difficult.
Actually, the intensity of this challenging search blesses you. As you strive to find Me in your moments, your focus is on Me.
While you trudge toward Me through countless distractions, your awareness of Me increases.
Even if you don’t feel close to Me, you find yourself communicating with Me.
So there is a sense in which your efforts to find Me are self-fulfilling: I am richly present in your striving.
As a result, you feel more alive—more awake and real—when you are actively pursuing Me.
Your willingness to pour yourself into this glorious quest delights My heart.
This joyful journey is all about perseverance.
As long as you continue seeking Me, you are on the right path.
Moreover, your success is certain: I will be found by you!
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”—JEREMIAH 29:13–14
