Seeking and Finding God

 In some religions, the infinite God is so remote, that He becomes an abstraction, or a frightening judge.

Human nature longs for a personal spiritual experience. We long for relationships, not only at a physical and emotional level but also spiritually, so religion leads us to venerate angels, saints, gods, goddesses or to submit unconditionally to spirit guides, gurus, rabbis, priests or pastors.

But the God of the Bible is infinitely great but also intensely personal. He makes Himself small, so we can know Him and love Him personally.

Perhaps you are not sure if you believe in God, or you are confused about what God might be like.

Try talking to God personally. You have nothing to lose.

You can say, as some atheists or agnostics have done. “God, if you are real, please let me find you.”

In the bible, many Jews were confused about religion. Many prayed to the gods of other nations. The results were terrible.

But God spoke to the Prophet Jeremiah.

Call to me, and I will answer you and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. Jer 33:3 NRSVue

You can talk to God and if you seek him with all your heart, you will find him.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 
And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. Jer 29:11–13 NKJV
