seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.” (NKJV). What does that “seeking” look like as a woman? When I think of searching for and finding God, I picture a dry sponge and water. The water is poured over it and begins to seep into every dry place, to fill every nook and cranny. When I set my heart to seek God, it is not confined to Sundays or an hour in the mornings (if I can drag myself out of bed). It is all day every day. In the morning as I shower and dress, standing in the kitchen cooking or doing dishes, driving to work or the kids to school, on the couch in the evening when I am finally off my feet. He becomes my first thought of the morning and my last thought of the night. I look for Him throughout my day. HE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT ME. He’s poured out His love over me. I have found a measureless love, too marvelous for words. Today, I see others and myself as He does. And I know He sees ME. My hair, eyes, arms, legs, skin, heart, my mind, past, and future. He’s in love with me and knows who I can become. He sees my lows and highest highs, and says, “I died for it all.” He finds me beautiful. © Courtenay Bowser http://www.theignitionpoint.org JASMINE'S PLACE 25 25
