Luke 19:10
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Genesis 3:8-9
And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”
Psalms 23:6a
Your beauty and love chase after me everyday of my life.
How great is it to have a God that is in constant pursuit of our hearts? How wonderful is it to have a God that no matter what, never stops loving us. We all want that someone to be forever in love with us. We want someone that will always have our heart, that someone that always has our best interest at heart. Yes God will send that person whoever it may be, but God is always that person. God is always loving on us, the way He loves us is unfathomable to the human mind we can never completely wrap our minds around it. And He wants us. He wants our hearts He wants us to love HIm, and He wants to live in unity with us. It’s crazy to think that a God who needs nothing from no one want nothing more than to be in community with His people. He doesn’t need us but He wants us and we are in constant need of Him. Therefore He is constantly pursuing the hearts of His people. We are always on His mind.
God is constant pursuit of His people, He is always seeking our hearts. God wants to be in relationship with us, He want to be close to us. God loves us so much that He cannot stand to be separated from us. He loves us so much that He refuses to allow us to fall and stay there. When we are lost, He finds us, when we are down He picks us up. We see this over and over in the bible as God always provides a way from us to be united and reunited with Him.
In Genesis we see God strolling through the garden looking for Adam and Eve. Not that they were lost or He didn’t know where they were but the fact that HE came looking for them. He could have stayed in the distance and looked on and checked upon them from afar. But God is intimate He wants to get close and personal with us. How great it is to have a God that loves us enough to come and find us when we are lost. He leaves the ninety-nine to find the one.
All this to say, God wants our hearts, He is in constant pursuit of our hearts. Give it to Him, HE went through extreme measures in order to have a relationship with us. One being sending His son to die for our sins. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it the rest of my days, if that’s not love, I don’t know what is. Everyday we must be reminded that we need God and He wants us.
