Seeking God for who He is

This week, we shared a interesting topic in our cell group: Seeking God for what He can do or seeking God for who He is?

Indeed, this question made me ponder many things.

In my early walk with the Lord, indeed, I could not deny I have so much needs, that I seek God for I knew He could do many things - asking Him to make things turn around for me.

However it did not happen the way I wanted. Instead, through the process of asking, praying and begging at times, He taught me many things - the ways of life, the ways to live and the ways to love. Indeed, He has widened my horizons.

In many occasions, although prayers were not answered the way I wanted, He has brought good out of unpleasant situations. In the storms, He calmed me with His presence. In the storms, I knew that He loves me so much.

The only way to respond to His love, is to seek Him for who He is - For the Lord our God is pleased and delighted to see me drawing near to Him. Yes, I have never ending needs, but He knows what is best for me. Seeking Him for who He is - the creator of all things - is all that I need, and He will put things right for me in His ways and in His time.

Dear Lord,
Thank you for your presence with me this morning. Thank you for your unfailing love.
I know the only way to respond to Your Love is to know you in depth through Your Words. For you have said, "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you". Yes, Lord, I have many needs still - You already knew it.. But all You want from me is my heart, my mind and my soul - is me drawing near to You....
Lord, help me these days in Your words, to know you deeper, deeper into Your everlasting love....... Amen
