Jn 1:38 — Jn 1:39
Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
Jesus said What are you seeking in life?
Now I’m going to ask you , Where are you searching for that?
I write these blogs because this is what the Lord wants me to do. There’s about a hundred of you that read this. And that’s awesome, but I’m going to ask each one of you that follow my blog to respond to these two questions below.
What are you seeking?
And where are you searching for it?
Great stuff! I’m in the season of life where I’m actively trying to DECREASE myself (and to prayerfully ask Him to INCREASE). I’m searching for those small daily decisions that will help me check pride and selfishness at the door to find His purpose for me. I’m looking to Jesus’ example in how He did that and how he made it look so easily to willfully put others before Himself (but never at the expense of His relationship with Father)…

That’s a great question Kee. At first I was like “that’s easy, its…” Then I stopped and actually decided to not give the Christianese answer and asked myself the question. The honest answer is relief. Not the answer I want it to be, but that’s the answer that came to mind. I’ve found Messiah Yeshua, so the question to me is a little different than He asked those that were following him, but still a great question. I know He is the relief, I trust Him that relief is coming, so why am I seeking relief?
Where am I seeking it? In the waiting…

I’m seeking His will.
How? By walking with Him – pretty poor effort thus far but improving daily.
God’s will is worth waiting for. His will is worth seeking daily. God’s will is everything.

From a friend:
I wanted to come up with some upbeat, “Christian” answer that makes me feel really mature and pumped up for the day… honestly though I think I am still trying to seek acceptance. And seeking it from all the wrong places/sources/etc. In one form or another, from one person or another, or one group or another, it’s weird. I enter into various situations with the forefront of my mind, wondering “will I be accepted? Will I stick out as someone that doesn’t belong in/at _______?” I really start to get worked up over this sometimes and don’t want to do things where I feel like I won’t belong (ie where I stick out as new/or doesn’t have it all together). It isn’t until I make a conscious effort to stop and remind myself that I have been accepted already by God that I start to settle back down. But even that doesn’t stick with me through days or seasons or even moments in a day. I have to keep the record playing on repeat to make it stick, and I don’t always do that. It is definitely an area of growth for me in 2020, being confident and know that who I am, and who Christ is in me, is enough!
PS: I love and hate you for making me start the day with digging that all up… Have a great one my friend!
