Searching For Jesus

Have you ever found yourself doing all the right things and still feel lost? You fast. You pray. You seek wise counsel and yet you find yourself perplexed, the answers no where in sight?

So, you press on. Searching scriptures with no direction, hoping the answer will pop out and reveal what you seek. Struggling with the notion that what you seek remains undefined, but the solution is desperately craved.

This is a trying place to be in. You know you know the right things to do and yet the frustration and discouragement weigh heavily upon you.

Maybe the seeking is the solution. Maybe you're focused on finding the answer and the relief that your missing the success is in the seeking. You seek an answer and God seeks to be found, but not for the answer, for the connection.

The feeling of being in the wilderness yearning for something undefined is a real feeling, but the outcome may not be to get instructions, but to find a renewed connection and deeper level of intimacy.

God wants to be found so that you and He can renew your relationship with each other. He doesn’t simply want to be a solution meeter for you. He desires to be your closest and dearest friend.

So walk steadily out of the wilderness of questions and requests and seek to rest and spend time with your Lord in the garden of your soul where together you can share each other’s hearts and innermost secrets.

The problems and challenges that you face are real, but even in the midst of them, God wants time with you. Set aside some time to commune on a level that is not through the lens of pain and questions and revel in the sweet solitude of friendship. For in each other’s presence will you find rest and refreshing.
