With All Of Your Heart
Have I not said in My word, seek Me and you will find Me, if you
seek Me with ALL of your heart?
Dear one, so many of My own seek Me, but they do so half-heartedly.
I want you to seek Me will all of your heart, not just with some
bits and pieces of it.
I want you to bring your joys to Me and all of your sorrows too.
I want to share all things with you--your victories, your defeats,
your hopes and your dreams. Come to Me and bring them to Me. I want
you to desire Me on your bad days, as well as on your good ones. I
want you to run to Me, just as you are--I don't want you to try to
make yourself perfect before you run to Me. Let Me be the One to make
you perfect, as My Spirit works within you to transform you.
I want you to want Me so much that nothing can keep you from pressing
in after Me--so that you pursue Me in ALL things. I want you to
pursue Me when all is going well for you, that I might celebrate and
rejoice with you. I want you to pursue Me in your sorrow and hardship,
that I might comfort you and help you to overcome.
When you slip and fall and get yourself dirty, don't run away and hide.
I want you to want Me so badly that you turn around and run back
to Me, just as soon as you realize that you've done wrong. Come back
quickly, and with a repentant heart, knowing that I will wash and
cleanse you and make you accepted in the Beloved. Yes, as soon as you
catch yourself slipping, stand up and run right back to My arms. Do
that no matter how dirty or soiled you may feel at the moment, and know
that I will receive you and restore you to that place of intimacy with
Me.
I want you to want Me so much that you cannot stand to be without
Me, no matter what state you find yourself in. When you want Me that
much, you will surely find Me, for nothing can separate you from My
great love for you. Yes, the more you seek Me, the more you will find
Me.
I desire to be found by you; I want you even more than you want Me! I
want us to be in deep intimacy and friendship together. I want us to
spend time together. I want to reveal more of Myself to you, and I want
to bless you.
Do you want that too? If you do, learn to seek Me with all of your
heart, for I desire greatly to be found by you.
