We are all familiar with the children’s game “hide and seek”! In our world I wonder what each of us is seeking and how many of us feel like life has us hiding.
Some seek business success, some seek relationships with others, some seek fame and some seek survival each day!
I believe no matter what form the seeking takes it is a cry to be found, to be seen, to matter to someone else!
Some feel like they are hidden and no one is seeking or searching for them. In addition to the things I listed above that people are seeking; others are trying to find recognition or a reason to live in alcohol or drugs or destructive behavior that may include guns and rebellion!
May I share with you that each of these and more are people crying out to matter!
Does anyone see me? Does anyone care? Would anyone care if I just vanished? Does anyone Love Me?
Great questions! When we are looking at someone, are we looking at what they are doing or are we looking at who they could be with a little encouragement!
Bullying does not stop in our schools. It is in workplaces and yes in homes. Bullying says both the bully and the one bullied are searching to be seen as someone with worth, someone to be loved!
Love is more than a fluttery, sweet feeling inside. Love cares about the needs and desires of others and seeing others as important!
The truth is that we cannot really love until we are loved, and we cannot know we are loved until we understand that the God who created us Loves us unconditionally and desires to pour out His Love on and in us so we can Love each other!
We may have times and situations that we feel loved, but the deep in our hearts real love only comes when we understand the Love of God.
We can understand the love of God when we know His earthly expression of love in Jesus. Jesus declared He came to SEEK and save those who are lost. Jesus seeks each person who is on this earth and desires that they receive His peace and love in their hearts.
Luke 19:10 (KJV) For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
If you feel like you are hidden, this verse says Jesus is seeking you!
God so loved that He gave! Can you receive?
It is easy! We just open up and realize we need that real love to make our lives not just better but the best!
The children’s song says it all:
JESUS LOVES ME, THIS I KNOW! FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO!
Just talk to Him, like you were talking to a friend because He is the best friend you will ever have!
I encourage you to open yourself up to real Love! The one who knows you best and loves you most!
Is hide and go seek going on in your life? Let Jesus find you! It will be the best decision you will ever make!
