“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”
― C.S. Lewis
Meaning of chase the act of pursuing someone or something.
Chase is in the Bible approximately 47 times...
Have you ever heard the term play hard to get? There is such a cat and mouse game in love...
When I cracked open the pages of the Bible and tried to chase the reason the word came to me today... I am sorry to report I was not successful in my quest. It did not take me where I wanted to go???
There many verses that speak of chase but most if not all point to the word enemy...Not to a love that is the life source of life and the reason this “Book” even exist...
I can only share my experience and thoughts... When I look back at my journey. It looks much like a courtship. I know that is a funny word. But please indulge me and let me expound...
I was not looking for God... I truly only knew of Him from movies... So, I did not know Him... I knew facts about His existence ... But one unexpecting day He introduced Himself to me. I was swept off my feet and as I tried to catch my breath. I found myself bewildered and confused... Because I had never felt a love like this!! And I did not know how to contain it nor did I even know how to share it... Wow!
He would come every day to share more and more... I found Him so loving. So mysterious So exciting...I could not wait to spend more time getting to know Him. I found I was getting to know Him a little deeper each time we met.... I did discover that He is greater and more powerful and any one we could ever encounter any where. As the days passed there seemed to be a deep spiritual bond being built... I really did not even know how.... But I fell in love with who He is.. Not for what He could give me.. But for the kindness He showed! For the love He unselfishly gives.. For forgiving me for not chasing Him... Sooner...
I think my souI had been waiting for Him to make the first move... All I can say is He WOWs me!
I will admit there are days I feel He is just a little out if reach... And it makes my heart miss Him... It makes me long to talk to Him.. It makes me want to chase Him..
I think He knows the Art of LOVE and Romance better than any one....
He knows His distance will only make our soul crave His nearness...
I have given Him my heart and will not stop pursuing Him. I will chase Him until the day comes that I can look into His beautiful eyes and say Thank you for making the first move!!!! 😁.
I think my soul has loved you long before I even met you!!!!
Don't be a looker!! be a chaser... your life will never be the same...
It's Him.. it's always Him!
He is relentless in His pursuit of His children.
People will say to you, "Look! There he is!' or "Look! Here he is!' But don't go and chase after him. Luke 17:23
