Seeking Jesus 18 March 09

To all my dearest brother and sisters,

Peter has always been a very "commenting" person, "comparing" as well, sometimes very talk big also.
But even so, he really constantly seeks God. And eventually becoming a pillar of the early church.

So is King David, he killed people, committing adultery and stuff.
But God consider him a man after His heart. Why?

God is constantly seeking a certain kind of man/women that seeks Him, that earnestly wants to know Him.
You can do 100 and 10 good things but do not know God.
Dont mistaken me, i'm not saying we can do sinful things or doing good deeds is bad.
But loving God with all our heart, souls and mind is the most impt thing.
Who Jesus wants is YOU, and what you really need to seek for is JESUS.
Not money, family,friends, career, condo, car, cloths, shoes and so on.

You can always claim that you are a good person, or being very honest, or claiming to be a "good catch", a great leader etc...
But can the people around you who knows you best say the same thing?
Can they see God in your heart and life?

God's Msg:
Repent to UpRoot
Replace to Take Root
Revive to Bear Fruit

And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him. (Mark 1:36)

Simon Peter is well known to us for his foolish, extemporaneous statements throughout the Gospels (Matt. 16:22; 17:4; 26:33). But Peter was always seeking after Jesus. Peter followed Jesus from afar during the night of Jesus’ crucifixion (Matt. 26:58). Peter ran to the tomb when he heard Jesus had risen (Luke 24:12). Peter swam in the sea in his haste to get to Jesus (John 21:7) and even walked on water in order to join Jesus (Matt. 14:29). Peter did not always say or do the right things, but he did constantly seek to be with Jesus. Because of this, he was continually encountering his Lord and growing to be a more faithful disciple.
Whenever we see Peter coming to Jesus he is always accompanied by others. Because Peter was seeking Jesus, others sought Him too. What are you known for by those who know you best? Do they see you searching for fame, power, success, or happiness? Are you known as a person who seeks after Jesus? God promises: “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jer. 29:13).
Did you begin today intent on encountering Jesus? Is your search for Him halfhearted, or are you seeking Him with all your heart? Have others grown closer to Jesus because they followed your example and sought Jesus? If your heart is set on pursuing Jesus, you will always find Him. “And the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let him who thirsts come” (Rev. 22:17).
