Are you
looking for God?
Some people know there is a God. They just know. They are
aware of a calling, a presence, a special something about God that is in
them. They want Him. They know they need to be connected to
Him.
Are you like that? Is there a longing in your
heart? Is there a soft but regular desire to be fulfilled, to be
completed in a way that only being with God can accomplish? I know
that feeling. I know it well.
As a child, I always knew that God existed. There
was always a quality in my heart that desired Him, that "knew" He was
there, that he was out there somewhere. I can't explain it.
It was something I was born with. I needed God. I knew that
I wouldn't be complete unless I was with Him and loving Him. I'm
glad I've found Him, or should I say, I'm glad he found me.
Those who are looking for God know the echo in
their hearts of God's voice calling them. They know it. They
feel it. It is there. It is soft, yet persistent. It
is gentle, yet constant. It echoes and draws us to Him, to find
Him, to know Him, to touch Him.
Sometimes, we realize that everything in the
world is ultimately meaningless unless we do what He wants, unless we
are in His will. We can gain money and possession, but they don't
satisfy. We know that when we die, it will all fall away and mean
nothing. That is why we look up to the heavens. That is why we hear the
voice of God calling us. Do you hear it? Do you feel its
presence?
Are you looking for God? Is what you have
in your life fulfilling, or do you feel
empty. If these words resonate with
you, then you need to encounter God by encountering Jesus. He is
the good Shepherd of love and forgiveness. Jesus said,
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and
they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to
them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out
of My hand," (John 10:27-28).
Did you get what Jesus said? He said that His
sheep hear HIS voice and they follow Him. Is He calling to you?
Do you hear his voice in your heart?
Do you want forgiveness of sins? Jesus forgives
sins (Matt.
9:1-7; Luke
5:20; 7:48).
Do you want to know God? Jesus reveals God (Matt.
11:27; Luke
10:22).
Do you want to have joy and peace? Jesus gives
them (John 15:11,
John 14:27).
You won't find
God in man made religions like Islam, Mormonism, Hinduism, Buddhism,
etc. You only find God through Jesus who said,
"I
am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but
through Me," (John 14:6).
Trust Him. After all, He raised people from the dead, performed
great miracles, died, and rose from the dead Himself. Who else has
done that?
