Let’s pause and reflect on a powerful truth: God never abandons those who truly seek Him. He loves when people desire to know Him more. If you are pursuing Him with sincerity, you can be sure that He is already drawing near to you. He walks with you, stays beside you, and leads you — because that’s His promise.
In Psalm 9:10, King David declares,
“Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You.”
This is not just poetic language — it’s a theological truth rooted in God’s character. God is faithful (2 Timothy 2:13) and keeps His promises. When someone comes to Him in humility and repentance, He receives them without hesitation.
God is not like people. Humans can be quick to judge or abandon one another, especially when there’s hurt, disappointment, or no personal benefit. But God is different. He does not focus on your past sins, your spiritual weaknesses, or how immature you may feel. He doesn’t require you to have everything together before you come to Him. His grace is freely offered — not earned.
In Isaiah 1:18, God invites us,
“Come now, let us settle the matter. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow…”
No matter how badly you’ve messed up, God invites you to return to Him. And when you do, He won’t shame you — He will restore you.
Satan will try to stop you. He’ll remind you of your past and tell you that God won’t listen to someone like you. He wants you to believe that you’re too dirty, too sinful, too far gone to matter to God. But Jesus clearly refutes this in John 6:37,
“All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.”
This verse tells us that everyone who comes to Jesus is accepted. No one is turned away. The decision to follow Christ is the only step required for full acceptance.
If you ever feel like you’re not worthy, remember this: God created you in His image (Genesis 1:27). That alone gives you value. If you had no worth in God’s eyes, He would not have made you at all — let alone in His own likeness.
So what’s the right response if you want to seek God?
1. Repentance
The first step is to turn away from sin — not just in words, but from the heart. True repentance means a willingness to leave behind your old ways and walk toward God’s will.
“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out…” — Acts 3:19
2. Baptism
If you’ve never been baptized according to Scripture — by full immersion in water in the name of Jesus — that’s the next step. This is how the early church practiced baptism
