To seek God with your whole heart, you must be willing to give your life for it. Seeking God with your whole heart is a life-transforming process and a journey to discovering the true personality of God. There was a time in my life when fear prevented me from seeking God and surrendering all to Him.
I was a born-again believer, but I was so afraid of letting go of my will.
Although a part of me felt I was seeking God, another part of me knew I wasn't totally surrendered to Him. Although I went to church, spent time with God, and engaged in physical activities, part of me still held back.
Also, I did not see the benefit of seeking God alone. Christ didn't feel enough. What about my dreams and goals and every vision I'd built for myself?
I'd always believed God was present to fuel them. But as I drew closer to God and understood what happened at salvation, I learned something important.
To seek God with your whole heart, understand that your life is no longer yours
We were dead in trespasses and sins. So we had no life before Jesus came.
Understanding the depth of this will enable you to seek God with the new life you've been given.
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20
