God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. - Acts 17:26

God is passionate about you to the point where He isn’t satisfied just to know you exist. It isn’t enough for Him to know you are doing well. God’s passion is so great that He designed the fabric of reality so that it would awaken in us a need to seek Him out.

This is why when we are without God there is an constant undercurrent telling us there is something missing. It’s that little feeling that says there must be something more than we can see.

It’s also why we can never feel fulfilled no matter how hard we try. No matter how much we accumulate, no matter how many relationships we pour ourselves into, no matter how many thrills and experiences we have we never find that one thing that makes us feel complete.

That’s a Holy curiosity that has been placed in you by the eternal, living, all-powerful, forever-loving God and Creator of the universe.

Here’s the good news: that Creator wants to be found. He is only a mystery because He is so beyond who we are and what we can truly comprehend. But the reality of Christmas is that through Jesus Christ we can know Him who is unknowable. We can reach out and find Him, because He is not far.

Today’s Prayer
Father, make my passion for You match Your passion for me. I want to be constantly looking for You in every aspect of the world. Help me see You in every relationship, in every experience, and in every emotion. Amen
