seeking---from ekklesia

There are no formulas -- no definitive how-tos -- for growth in the inner character of Jesus. Such growth is a way of relentless seeking. But there are many things we can do to place ourselves at the disposal of God, and "if with all our hearts we truly seek him, we shall surely find him" (Jeremiah 29:13).Sometimes we refer to those who have not yet decided to follow Jesus as "seekers". I guess the truth is that we should all be seekers! Seeking God with all our hearts! We put our whole hearts into lots of things(work, golf, hunting, kids, food, huskers), but how often are we putting our whole hearts into Jesus? I believe that's what it means to be one of his disciples or apprentices! Putting everything you have into becoming just like Jesus! Seeking Jesus with all our hearts. I like the NLT version of Matthew 6:33 "He will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern. "
