Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. — Jeremiah 29:13 (AMP) What is the deepest longing of your heart? Let us require the LORD and His Presence as a vital necessity. When we look for Him intently, we will find Him. (See Jeremiah 29:13 VOICE) We need to purpose in our hearts and minds to pursue God, each and every day. Desire to dwell in His marvelous light. Long for His wisdom, look for His guidance, and crave the truth, found in the Word of God. Yearn for righteousness and justice and aspire to do what is right in His eyes. Always, look to the LORD our God, only He can satisfy. As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God. (Psalm 42:1 NLT) O True God, You are my God, the One whom I trust. I seek You with every fiber of my being. In this dry and weary land with no water in sight, my soul is dry and longs for You. My body aches for You, for Your presence. ...

Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. — Psalm 37:4 (NASB) May our heart's desire be for more of our Heavenly Father. Only God can satisfy the deep longing of your soul. Delight yourself in Him, in His Presence and in His Word. He will show you the path of life; In His presence is fullness of joy; At His right hand are pleasures forevermore. (Psalm 16:11)  In His Presence we have the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding. It will stand guard over your heart and mind through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7) In Him, we have a constant Companion. We are precious in His sight and His thoughts of us outnumber the grains of sand! (Psalm 139:18) May we think of Him as often as He thinks of us.

Seek Him

You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. — Jeremiah 29:13 (NASB) In Genesis 3:8, Adam and Eve tried to hide themselves from the presence of the LORD God. At times, we may try to hide from God, but praise the LORD, our heavenly Father never hides from us! When we wholeheartedly seek Him, He promises that we will find Him. The Amplified Bible says, “ Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. ” (Jeremiah 29:13) May we require Him as a vital necessity, and never stray away. Let the deep longing of your heart be for His Presence. The Message Bible says, “ When you come looking for me, you’ll find me. Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed. ” (Jeremiah 29:13)
