Why the Title?

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." - Jeremiah 29:13, NIV

"I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me." - Proverbs 8:17, ESV

 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.  Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?  Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?  If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!" - Matthew 7:7-11, NIV

"Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." - Doctrine & Covenants 88:63

I love the main principle embedded in the above scriptures, how it follows that if we seek God, we will find Him.  God wants us to find Him.  He loves us and cares for us.  As we diligently seek the divine, we find just what we are looking for.  So the title of the blog is a reminder of this idea, that God is eager for us to search Him out, so that we may find Him.
