A 2nd attempt... on Seeking God.

Seeking God...
This is my calling. This is my life. I live to seek God. God created me that I would worship Him. I seek Him in order that I may worship Him.

My greatest desire is to know God. To know God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. My heart longs after God above all else, but that is not enough. It will not suffice for God Almighty. It is less than what God wants of me. It undermines His deity and sovereignty. God demands everything from me - not just to be the thing I want most.

It does not suffice to love God most, to want God most, to treasure God most, to worship God most, to seek God the most.

It suffices to love - only God, to want - only God, to treasure - only God, to worship - only God, to seek - only God.

It means that I must seek God with all that I am - everything else means nothing, is nothing, is of no importance. When applied to my life, it means that for every decision - no matter how small or big - I must seek God for it, because as I seek God with all that I am, for all that I am, He reveals Himself to me, His plans for me, all that He has for me. Why seek after other things when God has it all for me anyway? As I seek Him, I get to know Him more. I get to comprehend more of God. Why would I want to know or comprehend anything of this world at all if as I seek God, I can know and comprehend Him: God that created the universe, God that created me, God that rules and reigns over the universe, God that is omnipotent, God that is omniscient. Only God is all-knowing, we never will know-it-all. But as we seek God, we seek after Him that knows all, is all.

My God is God, He is not a god, but God Himself, because He is the only God. It is illogical that there could be more than one God because God is by definition omnipotent. And this God of mine is Love. He died that I might be saved. He demands to be worshipped. And so, I do. I have been seeking God my whole life. We all are in our own way. Almost five years ago, I chose to worship Him with my life, my heart. Seeking God did not stop there. To seek God, is to want to know God, to find Him. The more I know of God, the greater my passion for Him becomes. He chose me that I might seek Him and worship Him, and so I do.

It is as simple as that.
