"12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14

Luke 15:20
"But
while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him."
run after Him
and when you seek Him, when you chase God
as you approach Him, as you draw near to Him
He draws near to you
even while you're a long way off
He'll run to you as you run back to Him
however much you know of, or have experienced the love of the Father
today, experience it again
Jeremiah 17: 9
"The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?"
trust in Him and Him alone
because the heart lies,
and doing things your way often ends up worse than you think.
there is a faith proved of more worth than gold
so refine me Lord through the flame.
