It is good to seek God, but it’s possible to seek Him with less than a whole heart. Our desires can be mixed. When that’s the case—and it always is—we want God in our life, but at the same time we don’t want Him in our life. Or perhaps we want Him in only a part of our life.
If we could seek Jesus totally, we would be perfect as Jesus is perfect. God understands our nature and meets us wherever we are, regardless of inner conflicts. He does as much in our hearts as we’ll let Him do.
Nevertheless, the more we give ourselves to seeking God, the greater our blessing.
Psalm 119 is a long poem by a man seeking God. He prayed, I long for Your precepts; revive me in Your righteousness. (Ps. 119:40 NKJV)
