Description

Is God lost

Many of us feel that way. Its as if Gods gone missing, out in the universe somewhereand we must pick up the hunt, following any trail of breadcrumbs he may have left to go out and find him. We speak of searching for God, exploring spirituality, and finding faith.

But what if we have it backward What if God is the one pursuing us What if our job is not to go out and find God, but simply to stop running and hiding Not to earn Gods love, but to receive it Not to turn on the light, but to step out of the shadows

Jesus reveals a God on the prowl, pursuing us, hunting down his world for reconciliation. And the question were left with is not whether weve pursued hard enough, searched long enough, or jumped high enough . . .

The question is, Do we want to be found
