Seek Me and You Will Find Me

I have written a lot of little blurbs lately to post but nothing has stuck. What do you say in a time where things still seem unsettled, everyone has a different opinion, life looks so much different, and you can’t quite get a grip on how you personally feel? So, I have been a bit quiet. But in that quietness I believe I am starting to feel a stirring in my heart. 

God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Circumstances have changed but our God has not. He says “You will seek me and will find me when you seek me with all of your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13.  I have heard it said that God does not play hide and seek with us. When he says seek me and you will find me, it is true. He loves us. He loves us in our brokenness, He loves us in our confusion, He loves us when we don’t love ourselves, He loves us when we have strayed away, He loves us when we feel numb, He loves us. 

When things seem out of control in my life, I begin to control what I can. They aren’t always good things. And usually it becomes in excess to compensate for what I can’t control. For instance, my home will be spotless. (This is a sickness I have in general lol). I will begin to eat right, exercise, go to bed early, take my vitamins, read my bible, and be a “good” wife. (You know what I mean by good :) These things in themselves aren’t bad, but they won’t sustain. They won’t last. Especially the clean house. Before I know it I feel out of control again. And I feel like I am on a crazy cycle. 

This week I have done all of these things, minus being a “good” wife. Bryan is out of town. ;)  But the thing that has helped me the absolute most is spending time in my Word. If I am honest, this has always been the hardest thing for me. But right now I long for it. It’s life to my soul. The words are jumping off the pages and I am seeing so much that I have never seen before. I am understanding just how much He loves me, for me. I don’t have to strive, I don’t have to be perfect, I just have to rest in Him. Rest is a hard word for me. But I am learning to rest. 

I am no different than you. God longs to spend time with you. He longs to show you things in the Word that you haven’t seen. He longs to bring you rest and to show you how to bring rest to others. He loves you. His Word is what sustains you. It has Life. Are you dry and weary? Are you overwhelmed? Are you anxious? Go today to the river of life and fill up. He is your answer.
