Just an excerpt from my last post "I've been running from myself."
V13 : "...When you seek me with all your heart, (v14) I will be found by you, declares the LORD,"
>Jeremiah 24:7 - I will give them a heart to know that I am the LORD, and they shall be my people and I will be their God, for they shall return to me with their whole heart.
>Deut 4:29 - But from there you will seek the LORD your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
[The song by the Fray called "You found me" talks from the perspective of someone who is crying out to God and says God has showed up too late. I wrote some counter lyrics - from God's perspective to that person. Someday I hope to record and make a video for them. That song drives a wedge deep into my heart every time I hear it - because it suggests that God doesn't respond when we call to him. The truth however is that God has been pursuing since before we were born - that if we just reach out to him, He can show us exactly why it is that we need him. That if we truly search with all our heart - that He will be found by us.]
