PONDERING OVER COFFEE



Here is something I can't seem to get past this morning:

Jeremiah 29:13 If you look for me in earnest, you will find me when you seek me. NLT


What does this mean? How does this fit with those who are not "Christian" as we define it? How gracious is God? How wide and deep and high and long is God's love? Would God allow people to be deceived when they are earnest in their search?

I can't seem to let go of this. Once again I am at a place where I find myself arguing with myself. Once again I have lots of questions. I remember in the not too distant past when I had the answer to all these types of questions. It was certainly easier. The problem is that my heart seems bigger now that I have more questions than answers.

I have a feeling this question is not going to leave me alone.
