There have been times in my life when I have sought him and he seemed nowhere to be found. Other times when I actively wanted him to go away and he would not leave me alone. <br /><br />I think he often seeks us in very unexpected ordinary ways. Not necessarily in what others might label miraculous or sensational. But to us, we know. This is God. <br /><br />Many teachers and mentors who have influenced me believe God never turns away the slightest sincere move in his direction, even if it is screwed up. Jesus says the same - a broken reed he will not bruise.<br /><br />I rather count on that, as you can probably tell. I wish you well in your search and will pray.Margie Haackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938076510781889109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333821316421783570.post-35653379229084116972014-02-07T19:56:32.164-06:002014-02-07T19:56:32.164-06:00Hi Margie!

...Hi Margie! As always, I enjoyed your writing. : )<br /><br />Question for you:<br />How do you, Margie, seek God? I was directed recently to seek God, and I'm considering ways I can do this.<br /><br />Hope you are well!hansobma1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02520727931207889919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333821316421783570.post-32060388979262310452014-02-07T15:21:30.288-06:002014-02-07T15:21:30.288-06:00Scott, so true.

I must live the Victorious Life! Very worth practicing.

It's tough, and I don't like it at times, but I know it's necessary and only a loving Father committed to my sanctification would put forth this effort.<br />--Mary Loumarmieluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817734359694394738noreply@blogger.com
