Searching

What if everyday that we lived, we searched? Searched to be closer to God, searched to bring him glory, searched for satisfaction in only Him, searched for the things that matter, searched for the things that will last forever, searched for his will. What if we gave up everything of ourselves to search. If we never stopped searching, I wonder what we would find...

Would we find His arms wrapped around us? His hand guiding us? His glory painted in the sunset? Complete satisfaction in the simplicity of life? Would we find that every task matters if we work at it with all our strength? Would our eyes only see the eternal importance? Would we learn to completely yield to His will?
If we gave of ourselves, everything- time, money, energy- to God, I can only imagine what he could do with our offerings, how he could use our lives to bring him glory.
I want to search. Search for ways to be more like him, search for ways to be closer to him, to know him more fully. I want to search and find satisfaction, knowing who I am in Christ.
