Deuteronomy 4:29
Seek God with Your Heart and Your Soul
29 But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Matthew 6:21
Where Your Heart is, Is Where Your Treasures are
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Genesis 1:27
We are Made in God's Image
27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
The heart has to be touched...One's life might not be a very happy one, if one goes through their entire life without ever having their heart touched by someone...Material things, the things that are limited and finite can give us an immediate pleasure and temporary pleasure, but as one reflects on life the material things, the finite things do not touch the heart...And so these finite things do not last...This is because the finite things cannot touch the heart or the soul...
If one believes in the eternal, and also believes in God, then one can see that if we are created by God and made in His Image, it is only He who can touch the soul...Being our Creator, it is only He who can touch the Spiritual...So if you believe in the Creation Story, then man is the centerpiece of Creation as it was created by God...Man seeks God because He is our Creator...Man seeks Him and wants Him to be the One who touches our heart...
