Searchable

Many people seek Jesus looking for healing,

but they don't desire to walk with Him.

They seek only the blessings, not intimacy.

However, there are those who go far beyond seeking a blessing-

they have a heart that longs for more.

These are people who not only want to be blessed

but also desire to fulfill a purpose in God's presence.

Loving God when everything is going well is easy.

But true love is revealed in difficulty.

Our love for God is tested through trials, afflictions,

and moments when not only the sincerity of our faith is proven,

but our hearts are tested as well.

The heart is a land to be searched.

Just as the psalmists prayed, we must constantly pray

that the Lord would search our inner being-

not because He doesn't know it,

but because we need to come to know ourselves.

The Psalm says:

"Search me, O God, and know my heart;

test me and know my anxious thoughts.

See if there is any offensive way in me,

and lead me in the way everlasting." ( Psalm 139:23-24)

Only God is able to search the hidden corners of our hearts

that we ourselves do not yet know.

Only He can uncover areas of our character

and invite us into a place of transformation.

Only the Lord can look into all that is hidden within us-

and still love us, not give up on us,

and work to reconnect us to His good purpose.

We women whom God is raising up in this time

are women who are searchable.

That is, we are known by God.

Perhaps you've witnessed the frantic pursuit of women

after human recognition.

Yet, we must not seek to be accepted by society

or recognized by the world.

Our true goal must be this:

to be known by God and approved by Him.

We are furbo. Hallelujah!
