A Heartfelt Desire

I love them that love me and those that seek me early shall find me Proverbs 8:16

A young girl disappeared on her way home from school.   Her parents were in a panic, and they called the police to help find her.  After two days of searching, the police put her in a file and the parents went away depressed.  On their own, they decided that they would do anything necessary to find their little girl.  They began a search of their own.  For six years they dedicated themselves to the recovery of their only child.  After long years of desperately hoping and endlessly searching, the pair found their daughter, living just a  few miles away with the woman who had abducted her.  Many times in the six years the couple had wanted to give up.  Repeatedly, they faced feelings of futility and frustration.  In spite of impossible odds and lack of assistance, the pair found their daughter and were reunited at long last.

When something is the desire of our heart, it should possess us totally.  How many of us pursue God with the same diligence as the young couple pursued their daughter?  God wants us to do so.  Nothing pleases Him more than knowing that we love Him totally and completely.  If we will seek God, with our whole being, His promise is that we will find Him.

Sometimes I lose patience when I wait for You to answer my prayers, O Lord.  Give me the patiene I so desperately need.  Help me to pursue You in all ways at all times.  Thank yhou for Your promise to always be there when I seek You.   A men
