SEEK MY FACE, and you will find more that you ever dreamed possible. Let me displace worry at the center of your being. I am like a supersaturated cloud, showering Peace into your mind. My Nature is to bless. Your nature is to receive with thanksgiving. This is a true fit, designed before the foundation of the world. Glorify Me by receiving My blessing gratefully.
I am the goal of all your searching. When you seek Me, you find Me and are satisfied. When lesser goals capture your attention, I fade into the background of your life. I am still there, watching and waiting; but you function as if you were alone. Actually, My Light shines on every situation you will ever face. Live radiantly by expanding your focus to include Me in all your moments. Let nothing dampen your search for Me.
Philippians 4:7 MSG Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing
praise to my God while I have my being.
What is the “one thing” that every human seeks? At its core, the goal of all of our seeking is for peace. That freedom from disturbance, conflict, worry, fear, stress and anxiety that allows security, harmony, joy, hope and love to define our lives. There is a sure way to find true inner peace. But it is not to be found in seeking worldly things. Nor can it be found by seeking it alone.
True peace can only be found by seeking and being with God. We may find physical comfort, some solace and bounty by building up material things around us. But true peace can only be found within us and it only comes through our relationship with God. We may slake our thirst and appetite with food, but to quench our thirst for true peace, we must drink from the well of faith.
When we seek God first in all things, all things will happen to us for our best good. More so than we ever dreamed possible and more than is ever possible on our own.
Christ’s peace be with you,
Z gardener
