And yet it seems to me to be the one thing I have been looking for all my life.

I do not search; I find.

Hell is not an 'oops!' or a slip. One does not miss heaven by a hair, but by constant effort to avoid and escape God.

There are no formulas—no definitive how-tos—for growth in the inner character of Jesus. Such growth is a way of relentless seeking. But there are many things we can do to place ourselves at the disposal of God, and "if with all our hearts we truly seek him, we shall surely find him

God seeks us. The basic nature of God is one of loving community.

That is not the way of God. It is asking, it is seeking, it is knocking.

If we do seek him, he will certainly find us, and then we, ever more deeply, find him.

Without faith it is impossible to please God, for the one who draws near to Him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him.

People don't ask questions about spiritual matters unless God is at work in their lives. When you see someone seeking God or asking questions about Christianity, you are witnessing God at work.

There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away.

I wake up a little before six, and I go right to my study. That's where I do my daily reading of the Oswald Chambers book, 'My Utmost for His Highest.'

Every moment of searching is a moment of encounter.
