In Pursuit!

Many years ago a colleague would step into my office and ask the question, “So, how is God pursuing you today?”

I never really knew how to answer his question. He continued to do this for several days and finally I stopped him and asked him to explain.

He very quickly stated that most Christ-followers felt that pursuit was only a one-way thing. Most felt that it was them pursuing God and they never really gave a thought to the idea that God is pursuing us.

I mulled that over for a few days and finally, with the help of the Holy Spirit, began to see how God was pursuing me.

He was pursuing me through His Word (the Bible); through books I was reading; through relationships; through times of prayer both verbalizing things to God but also listening to Him; and even through the mundane events of my day.

It took me awhile to come to the point where I accepted the fact that God was crazy about me; that God wanted relationship with me because He loved me and not because it was His job.

Out of that came the title for my blog. I will be posting some of the original blog posts on this new (to me) site as well as posting new thoughts for you to consider.

I hope and pray you will come to discover God’s pursuit of you through these writings as I did.

By the way, thanks Dave for making me aware of God’s pursuit.
