Seeking God's Face

"If My people, which are called by My name,
shall humble themselves, and pray,
and seek My face, and turn from their wicked
ways: then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land"
(2 Chronicles 7:14, KJV).


I want to ask you a question.
Please answer it honestly.
How many times do you go to God,
not asking for anything?
If you answered this question honestly,
I would say 75% of the time we are seeking
His hand and not his face.
There is nothing wrong with asking God for
things, He wants us to ask Him for things.
But how much more would He love us to just
love on him, not asking for anything.
If you were God how would it make you
feel if your children always came to you,
and always had a hand out and
never wanting to give you any love?
I think we all know the answer.
But the great thing about God is that,
He is always willing to forgive,
and give us a chance to start all over.
Let's begin today.

Prayer:
Lord please forgive me for
being selfish sometimes.
Help me dear Lord to seek your beautiful face,
and not just your hand.
Help me to want to find out what
your needs are, and what makes you happy.
Help me to remember to ask
you how was your day?
What can I do to Please you Lord?
