He adores you without conditions.
He is trying to find you. Wherever you have been hiding, God has taken the initiative to look for you. He desires to restore your relationship with Him. He does not deserve your chilly relationship with Him, but He still desires that you come back to Him.
He accepts you despite your flaws and frailty as a human being. Even though God is flawless, He nevertheless loves you despite your flaws. He loves you despite your ignorance even though He knows the end from the beginning. The depth of God's love is so great that this is just the tip of it.
When you love something, you defend it. God acts similarly. He takes the greatest possible care of His creation. Every time a man sins, God moves quickly to restore the connection. He does this because He doesn't want anyone to perish.
He desires to re-accept you into His family.
“What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? Even so, it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish” – Mathew 18:12, 14 (NKJV).
The Bible compares God's treatment of us to that of a good shepherd when one of His sheep wanders off. He doesn't want any of His creatures to endure pain. He desires for everyone of us to be saved. You must decide for yourself if you will answer His call and seek Him out once more.
Adam and Eve fled into seclusion after the fall of man. They were terrified of being exposed to God after sinning. They had broken God's rules and damaged their wonderful friendship. But even though God was aware of what had transpired, He still went in search of them.
“And they heard the sound of the Lord walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid from the presence of the Lord God among the trees in the garden. And the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “where are you?” – Genesis 3:8-9 (NKJV).
After Adam sinned, God went in search of him. He summoned him just as He is currently calling everyone of us. Whereabouts are you?
His displays of affection
In his letter to the church in Rome, apostle Paul writes about the love of God. “But God demonstrates His love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” – Romans 5:8 (NKJV).
God's strategy for drawing us closer to Himself was the death of Christ. God has been searching for a method to reconcile us with Himself since the fall of man in Genesis. He was not pleased with how sin had cut off our relationship with Him. He wanted to close the distance.
Listen for His voice
God is still looking for you today, just as He did for Adam. He is curious about our whereabouts and our reasons for hiding from Him. Even if we fall victim to the enemy's lies and deception, he is not condemning any of us. He want to restore our connections to Him. Are you prepared to emerge from your hiding place?
After Adam sinned, he hid from God. But he responded when God spoke to him. Adam was supposed to have remorse, but instead he blamed Eve for feeding him the devil's food. That was the situation, that is true. But God passed judgment because Adam was unwilling to publicly beg for God's pardon. On the serpent, the devil, Adam, Eve, and Eve.
What ways is God using to find you?
1. He reaches out to you through outdoor crusades and all types of evangelism conducted globally.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is being preached to all nations. The Bible has been translated to almost all languages in the world. So that the message can reach everybody. It is written “And this message of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to the nations, and the end will come” – Matthew 24:14 (NKJV).
2. You will get a conviction in your spirit to be born again
When the good news reaches your ears, God sends a conviction into your heart for you to be born again. Nicodemus, the Pharisee, was told by Jesus that he needed to be born again. “Jesus answered and said unto him, “Most assuredly I say unto you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” – John 3:3 (NKJV).
3. Personal encounter
God, in His wisdom, might arrange a one-on-one meeting with you. On his way to persecute Christians, he encountered Saul (before he changed his name to Paul). Saul needed to hear the good news for himself as well. Paul was blinded when Jesus personally appeared to him as well.
“As he journeyed, he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” – Acts 9:3-4 (NKJV).
Say Yes To God
Do you remember how happy a young couple was when the groom first proposed to them? The lady's excitement cannot be understood. It was all she could do to respond to the proposal with a simple “yes” while experiencing excessive joy.
God is similarly looking for you right now. You will never receive a better proposal in your life than this one. Say “yes”!
In conclusion, accept the Lord Jesus Christ into your life and watch Him transform your life for the best. “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” – Philippians 2:10-11 (NKJV).
