God Wants to Be Found
We are known for treasure hunts here at Shiloh and I always want the treasure to be found! As a grandparent, when I play hide and seek with the grands I want to be found and let them feel that they have accomplished a victory!
God wants the reality of Jesus, Our Savior, to be found by everyone of his creations.
If you search for Me with all your heart you will find Me. Jeremiah 29:13
When attending the inquiry class at our church, where we explain what the church believes, my heart thrills at the honest response of people who say, "I'm not certain what I believe, but I am searching."
Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. Everyone who asks will receive. Everyone who searches will find. And the door will be opened for everyone who knocks. Would any of you give your hungry child a stone, if the child asked for bread? Would you give your child a snake if the child asked for a fish. As bad as you are, you still know how to give good gifts to your children. But your heavenly Father is even more ready to give good things to people who ask. Matthew 7:7-11
Lord, we pray for those who do not know you that they would have a hunger and a desire to search for You. Thank You for placing a void within us that makes us know there is more; there is a Creator who loves us. May we all be people of persistence, with the faith of a little child ,determined to find a treasure, because that child knows someone who loves them will help that treasure be found. In Jesus' name. Amen
"Always Only Jesus" Mercy Me
