Have you ever wondered what characteristics God is looking for when He looks at you? That may sound like a silly question, but the Bible tells us to knock, ask, and seek, and the door will be answered, God will hear us, and we will find Him. In other words, we are to be looking for God. But in John 4:23, it says that God is seeking or looking for a certain kind of person. He is looking for you! He is looking for someone to worship Him. God doesn’t have a big ego that needs to be stroked, He just wants us to choose Him above everything else. Matt 6:33 says for us to seek Him first. What is amazing is that when we do, He promises to supply all of our needs. It sure sounds like we get the best end of that bargain! So what else do you think He is seeking or looking for? We know he is looking for worshippers, but he is also looking for faith. Without faith we can’t be God pleasers, so he is looking for people who have activated their faith life, because faith without works amounts to nothing, or as the Bible says, is dead. He seeks those who understand authority that He is the boss and that although He has called us friends, we still are called to serve Him. He also is looking for those who have a heart that is open, and are sensitive to His Holy Spirit. One last thing I know God is looking for is faithfulness. I know that sounds like a lot of stuff all at once, but God’s Spirit lives inside of you, and He has given you power to live a life that is committed to H im, for all the days of your life. So what is God looking for in you? He’s looking to see a heart that is completely His. I know He’ll find that in you.
