He Knows Us...Day 19

Jeremiah 29:13

"If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me."

Jeremiah wrote this for all the Jews that were far away from their homeland, they were taken by the Babylonians.  Many thought they would never see Israel again, many felt abandoned and alone.  

Jeremiah is reminding all of us that God is here.  Our hearts must continue to seek and learn about God.  Jeremiah says to search with all of our heart.  Christ is the most valuable thing in our life.  Many times we do not treat Him with the value He deserves.  We do not seek with all of our heart, we do not talk to Him or read about Him.  Be encouraged, He knows us and only wants us to know Him. 

Jeremiah 29:11-14

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.  In those days when you pray, I will listen.  If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.  I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land.”
