Unfailing pursuit

I love what the NLT says,

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will PURSUE me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:6

The past few days, I've been searching and yearning to see his glory in the midst of enemy territory that is this world. Just trying to change my perspective and attitude.

The Lord is giving me rest in searching. By this truth alone in Psalm 23 that, He is my Shepard and restores my soul. He pursues me and meets me exactly where I am. Trace was talking about the key part of salvation, that it is Jesus Christ alone and He pursues me to have a relationship with him. I shall no longer be on an expedition to seek the treasures and desires of this world, but to explore the depths of his salvation and everything that he has endured.

My selfishness always shocks me every time. It should be a no-brainer that my thoughts and intentions are always centered around myself. But the more I know Christ and his goodness and unfailing love that pursues me, the more I fall in love with him as the lover of my soul and the desire to abandon my flesh and be with him has never been greater.

I'm sitting and eating my poptart this morning pondering what I will consume today. The Spirit helps me to find rest in what I will get the privilege to partake in today. That whenever I eat or drink, I get to thank him, and he never fails to get the glory.
