In God's Presence 2

"In church people can find spiritual gifts - Too many people today, seek the gifts more than the gift giver.  The gifts become the thing.  The gifts become the relationship.  The gifts come before obedience and faith and trust and loyalty and agreement and praise and worship.

But God is not a spiritual gift.

In Church people can find blessing - There are tens of millions of people that go to church for the blessing and they will find it, because there are countless blessings given out in God=s sanctuaries. 

But God is not a blessing.

Who among us is coming to find God?  Who is seeking for God to reveal more of Himself to them? 

Not for the benefits

Not for the accolades

Not for the notoriety

Not to be noticed

Not to judge ourselves against another

Not to prove something

Not for any reason other than to know God better.

I wish you could see how much God just wants you to seek Him.

Not just until you are saved

Not just until you are sanctified

Not just until you are filled with the Holy Ghost

Not just until you receive a spiritual gift

Not just until you have entered into the inner court

Not even until you have come into the holy of holies

God wants you to seek Him until He is found and then to seek Him again and again to become better acquainted."
