You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
I was standing in the backyard recently and heard a desperate animal sound -- it was coming from a tiny baby rabbit. A huge crow had swooped down and was attempting to capture the helpless bunny with its sharp claws and whisk it away. Before I could even think to try and scare it off, the mother bunny came out of nowhere, dust flying up behind her scurrying feet, as she fearlessly sprinted straight toward the crow. She saved her baby in that moment, and the defeated crow fled the scene. Then, I sensed God speaking: “That was Me when I rescued you from your darkness – My fierce Love that refused to let you go.” It brought tears to my eyes. For so long I have struggled to accept His unconditional love for me, but little by little, He pursues my heart. Until I began to understand God as the Lover who has drawn each of us to Himself from the very beginning, I never knew His true presence. You may have had moments like this, too. If you haven't, I challenge you to ask Him to show you signs of His love. It may be something you see, an experience you have, a memory He brings to mind, or something else unexpected. If you keep seeking, you WILL find them, and you will come to understand that they are things meant only for you.
