Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them,
"What are you looking for?"
John 1:38
Today, this is the question Jesus asks you. The way you answer will determine how you choose to live your life, and what kind of meaning your life will have for you.
When I thought about this question, it finally occurred to me that I already had what I was looking for. I long to be loved and accepted by God,, to be guided by his wisdom and to share his love with others. But since God is already within all of us, he is fulfilling this longing now, for where God is, there is his love, his wisdom and the power to love others. So I am looking for God's help to realize more deeply what I already have. This realization will bring greater meaning to my life, but it isn't likely to happen without a lot of quiet, reflective prayer.

"...realize more deeply what I already have." Our finite minds don't always grasp what is within us. So very blessed!
