Our prayer verse for this week is from Jeremiah 29:13
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Did you ever play "hide and seek" as a child? If you did and you were hidden then you didn't want to be found. God wants to be found -- in fact promises that we will find Him -- and He gives us a "finding strategy" -- look with the heart. But the seeking is not a casual seeking, God says "with all your heart". We need to want God. Something I think about often is whether I want God more than I want other things -- even other good things. I want to be serious about this God-walk. I want to pursue God with all my heart because He is the "greatest treasure".
Jesus is the first one back to Home base, and he's hollering, "All ya'll that's out, is free!" -pj
