Seeking God
God created mankind in His image gave us a spirit and life. He cares for His children and desires that we should want to find Him, know Him and have a relationship with Him. Christ prepared all about us to lead us to realize that only an amazing God could have made all the universe and our environment as well as ourselves so perfectly. It is almost as if God offers us a game to find Him with His evidence surrounding us.
The spirit within us communicates with God and can only find peace when we know our creator. We are given a choice to choose and earnestly seek God or foolishly reject Him. God desires to guide and bless His creation but will not force Himself on anyone. Our greatest choice in life is to choose to seek, know and love our creator. He surrounds us but can only be truly known when a person accepts Christ and gains the Holy Spirit to open their eyes to spiritual things that cannot be seen or understood otherwise.
