Matthew 1:23
God is With Us
23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
Acts 17:24-28
God Has Created Us and Given Us an appointed Time on Earth
24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
Matthew 6:28-34
Seek God First
28 "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Jeremiah 29:13
Seek the LORD with All Your Heart
13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Hebrews 11:6
Earnestly Seek God
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
God is with us and near us...He dwells within us with His Holy Spirit...This means that God is not a Christian, or Jew, or Hindu, or Muslim, or a Buddhist...Or put another way, God is in all of these different people, since He is in all of us, each and everyone of us...God does not consider anyone more or less deserving, because He is Full of Grace...LOVE perfectly knows equality...God is a God of inclusion of people, instead of being a God who excludes people...Jesus came to save everyone on earth, not just one or two groups of people...
God does not exclude people...God is LOVE and love is inclusion and wants to share in a relationship...God wants an eternal relationship with all of us...And this relationship starts on earth, with us seeking Him, and He seeking us...And because He is seeking us, He has put in the minds of man to find Him and think and ask of Him...He did this so we might reach out to Him...He is not far from any of us...
We are to seek God first and then all the things we need will be given to us...God does not want us to be in a constant state of fright with Him...He wants to LOVE us...And He us to be with Him...Love is a completely sharing relationship, forgiving, unselfish, and Full of Grace...
