The more I seek You
The more I find You
The more I find You
The more I love You
I want to sit at Your feet
Drink from the cup in Your hand
Lay back against You and breathe
Feel Your heart beat
This love is so deep
It's more than I can stand
I melt in your peace
It's overwhelming
Seeking God is something we all should do. There are many verses in the Bible that talk about seeking God and His Kingdom. Here are only a few: (Read these verses slow and let them sink in.)
- Matthew 6:33, "But seek first His Kingdom.."
- Deuteronomy 4:29, "But if from there you seek the LORD, your God, you will find him if you seek him will all your heart and with all your soul."
- 2 Corinthians 15:2, "The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you."
- Psalm 9:10, "Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you."
- Psalm 27:4, "One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple."
- Psalm 34:10, "Fear the LORD, you his holy people for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing."
- Psalm 105:4, "Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always."
I also love in the song above how it talks about God's love being so deep. "This love is so deep". In the Bible, God's love is described as abounding, eternal, enduring forever, great, unfailing, and rich. The Bible also says, "God is love". Therefore since God is love, all of the characteristics of love described in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 apply to God and His love. God's love is patient, kind, does not envy, does not boast, is not proud, is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs, and it does not delight in evil but rejoices in truth. God's love always protect, trust, hopes, and perseveres. God's love never fails.
God's love is so deep. We are to have that same deep love for others. We are not suppose to pick and choose who receives that love, but we are to love like God has loved us. God tells us to love one another, for love comes from Him. God is love. He showed us that love through His Son, Jesus Christ. God's love is made complete in us because if we love one another God lives in us. We love because He first loved us. (1 John 4:7-21)
We are to live in an intimate relationship with the Lord, but also with other people. Relationships are so important and make up a part of who we are as human beings and as God's creation, we are relational beings. Let us seek first a relationship with the Lord and then out of that relationship share God's love/our love with others.
My own personal prayer:
"Lord, let me be willing to be vulnerable with others and build relationships that may please and glorify you. Remind me daily that there is no fear in love. Teach me to love those who I find difficult to love. Love always trust so teach me to trust those around me, whom I struggle to trust. Please continue to give me discernment and help me to grow in wisdom. Lord thank you for always keeping your promises. I love you. May that love I have for you and you for me shine through my life. Thank you for loving me even though I am unworthy. Thank you Lord, Amen."
