Seek Me and You Will Find Me

Day 155 of Photo Inspirations — Seek Me and You Will Find Me
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”  Jeremiah 29:13.  I went along with my kids for their evening walk.  This night, we were on purpose.  We were praying and seeking God as we walked.  He wasn’t hiding.  We found Him  everywhere.  We saw Him in the trees, in the warm Texas sunshine, the green grass, the birds flying, little children playing, people eating at an outdoor cafe, and we heard and saw Him in the waters of a beautiful fountain.  I saw Him in the love that my two kids share.  He IS everywhere AND He is HERE in my heart.  

The more that I sensed Him, the more aware and conscious I was of His love, His mercy, grace…..and most of all, His presence.  That’s when I started noticing the greatest symbol of His love for us — the cross.  I started seeing crosses in buildings, in fences, in objects — thus my photo inspirations for this day.

The Cross:  of course when we seek Him…. we’ll find Him, and this day I found Him in the greatest symbol of love that explains it all.  It’s where Jesus  paid the ultimate price for us with His life.  I loved seeing that reminder everywhere we walked.  I paid attention to it.  I purposefully looked for it.

And, isn’t that what this scripture means?  “You will seek Me and find Me…..when you seek me with all your heart.”  He’s just a thought away, a prayer away, a cross away, and a heart-beat away.  How I thank Him for the cross and how I thank Him for the reminder of His love for me.
