Constant.

Have you ever met someone that you really wanted to get to know, but for one reason or another never did? There have and are a few people in my life that I was (not so much anymore) eager and excited to get to know, yet time after time when I “approached” them or “crossed paths” w/them or had an opportunity to talk w/them, they would turn away, walk in the other direction or in my own interpretation-avoided me for whatever reason. I think I know why one person did and still does this-I think she feels guilty whenever she talks to me b/c of a certain situation in her life that she knows I don’t agree with, but that couldn’t be further from the truth-I love her, just as I love all my friends and will “pursue” her no matter how often she “ignores” me.

To be honest that’s how I think Jesus feels about us a lot of times. He yearns with all His heart for you to know Him, for you to talk to Him, for you to meet with Him b/c He created you and He knows that you will only experience your best possible life through Him. As many times as I have wanted to give up on these “tough” relationships, God never gives up on us. God never tires of relentlessly pursuing us-for all eternity. How can we and do we dare ignore that? Yet over and over we turn from Him, we walk the other way, we do the avoiding-just as He is about to speak. No wonder we so often say that He is silent.

We need to put forth our own effort in seeking Him as He seeks us, pursuing not only His Hand, but more importantly His Face. I’ve recently being exposed to so many awesome preachers and teachers-such blessings, I can’t even name them all, I’m still trying to let a lot of what they’ve said sink in. God is so good, He literally is ALL you need in life, I am realizing that more and more each day, as many of the “voids” I feel that I have in life-He fills. Man what an awesome God we serve. I will continue being obedient to Him and thankful. Thankful for the amazing family I have and friends that He has blessed me with, I love them so much and never take them for granted.

“It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O most High; to declare Your loving kindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night, on an instrument of ten strings, on the lute, and on the harp, with harmonious sound. For You, Lord have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands.”

~Psalms 92:1-4
