Are You Willing To Know God?

God does not reveal Himself in such a way that everyone is forced to acknowledge Him.  He actually leaves enough room for doubt to those who genuinely desire to avoid Him.  So, we can know God exists and we can know Him…if we are willing.

Part of the reason for God’s subtlety in this regard has to do with love.  God wants us to freely choose to love Him.  We all inherently understand that an important aspect of the value and authenticity of love has to do with choice.  A love that is forced is not real love.  None of us would treasure the love of a person who was forced to love us in the same way we would treasure the love of someone who chose to love us.

Therefore, a fair question to consider is this:  Are you honestly willing to know God?

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13
