God Is Looking For You
By nature, human beings always seek their origin. This has been a pursuit for centuries.
Throughout history, there have been countless stories attempting to explain where mankind truly comes from. Some claim that man descended from apes, while others affirm that he was created by God.
The undeniable truth is: the origin of humanity is God Himself - the One who created heaven and earth.
It is because of Him that everything lives and exists.
He seeks you because He is your source. He is the very reason for your existence. God has already prepared something precious for you.
In the book of prophet Jeremiah, God said: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
From the Old Testament to the New Testament, God has always been seeking His people - seeking to bless them, to purify them, and to take away their sins.
Why is God looking for you?
1. God wants to bless you.
In the Gospel of Luke chapter 1, we read the story of Angel Gabriel bringing good news to Virgin Mary. God sought out Mary because she had a pure and humble heart.
In the same way, God is looking for you because He wants you to have a heart that is pure and humble, just like Mary’s.
A heart that is ready to receive His grace and blessings. A heart that can treasure and cherish them deeply.
2. God wants you to have a pure and obedient heart
Having a pure heart doesn’t mean being perfect; it means living with humility.
In the Scriptures, God says to Isaiah: “If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land.” (Isaiah 1:19)
God desires to bless you with success and make you great in your endeavors. But He asks that you come before Him with a pure and obedient heart.
3. God wants you to be strong
God values the heart and inner character far more than outward appearances.
In the story of David, when prophet Samuel was sent to anoint a new king, he first assumed Jesse’s eldest son, Eliab, was the chosen one because of his impressive appearance. But God had a different perspective.
The Lord told Samuel: “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7, NIV)
What set David apart was his genuine love, trust, and devotion to God. His psalms overflow with worship, heartfelt cries during trials, and a deep longing to honor the Lord.
This is what God desires from us as well: a true relationship with Him - one where we seek to know Him, learn from Him, delight in Him, and live to please Him (John 15:5).
Such a relationship builds our spiritual strength, shaping us to grow in faith rather than being consumed by the world.
4. God Wants You to Have Humility and a Servant’s Heart
Faithful followers of Christ are known by two qualities: humility and a willingness to serve others.
Jesus Himself showed us a different way to lead. He allowed men to take their best shot at stopping Him by crucifying Him - the highest display of human power.
Yet through His resurrection, He revealed that God’s way is greater than the power of men.
David, too, lived with humility and a servant’s heart. Though he was anointed as king and held great authority, he remained humble before God and committed to serving His people.
This stood in contrast to Saul, whose pride and self-reliance distanced him from God (1 Samuel 16:7).
As the body of Christ, we are called to walk in this same humility. Serving others selflessly, putting their needs above our own, and living out the Golden Rule: “…treat others as you want to be treated.” (Matthew 7:12, NIV).
This is the true mark of discipleship - living not for ourselves, but for God and for others.
5. God Wants You to Be a Person of Prayer and Discernment
Prayer and discernment are essential in every area of a believer’s life. The early church’s decision to replace Judas is a powerful reminder of the need to seek God’s guidance.
Although the disciples prayed earnestly, their human reasoning led them to choose Matthias. Yet God’s greater plan was to raise up Paul - who at the time was still persecuting Christians.
This shows us that persistent prayer and seeking divine wisdom are crucial if we are to walk in God’s chosen path (Acts 1:24–26).
To be a faithful follower of Christ means cultivating inner qualities that reflect His nature: trusting God’s will, embracing humility, and committing ourselves to prayer and discernment.
When we seek His guidance and align our hearts with His purposes, we reflect His love and grace in the world.
Trusting God requires us to live with “open hands and eyes lifted,” carrying a heart that remains curious and willing to be led by Him.
This is why God is always looking for you - because He longs for you to walk closely with Him.
