The More I Seek You

Last week Tim found the song, "The more I seek you"by Kari Jobe. I remember singing this song in college at our college church service and how powerful the words were/are. It took all within recently not to break down in tears... in a good way. Below are the lyrics, but this song starts out, "The more I seek you, the more I find you.... the more I find you, the more I love you". I just love that. God is not hiding from us, He is waiting for us to look to Him... to rest in Him... to experience His love.

Everyone grew up with different life experiences which lead them to understand God in a certain way. Alot of times I am finding it's been a negative experience of legalism, not being good enough, or misinterpretation of who God is. The truth is, The more we seek Him through His Word (the bible), the more we find Him... a true understanding of who He is. Not what our parents taught us as children, not who our culture says He is, but a true, loving, gracious God that the bible teaches. The more we find Him, the more we love Him. When God reveals himself to you(Roman 3:11 "there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God", Luke 19:10 "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”) It's all you can do... love Him. When we know who God truly is, you can't help but be thankful that a powerful, humble God loves us in all our imperfection, bitterness, and brokeness. God is not expecting us to be perfect or to obey a list of do's and don'ts. He desires for us to recognize our need for a Savior and to know we are dead in our sin and can only experience true freedom and life in Christ.

"One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple."
Psalm 27:4

"For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."
Matthew 7:8



The more i seek you,
the more i find you.

The more i find you,
the more I love you

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

The more i seek you,
the more i find you.

The more i find you,
the more I love you

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace..
