Bring me to life...

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


Live. There is a difference between being alive and living, and God calls us to live a life set apart for him. A vigorous and fruitful life with no time wasted.


Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon Him while he is near. Isaiah 55:6


Run. Run for your life. Run for your Lord. Run from the sins of this world, run towards the cross. Run as fast as you can, as hard as you can, just run. Run to him.


I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me. ~Proverbs 8:17


We must actively seek God, and it's a theme that appears all throughout the Bible. God calls us to constantly and actively seek him in everything that we do, forever advancing in our relationship with him.

Without a soul, my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold. 
Until you find it there and lead it back home. 
Frozen in time, without your touch, without your love.
Only you are the life among the dead.
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems, I've got to open my eyes to everything.
Without a heart, without a voice, without a soul,
Don't let me die here.
Bring me to life. 
Wake me up inside. 
Wake me up inside. 
Call my name and save me from the dark.
Bid my blood to run,
Before I come undone. 
Save me from the nothing I've become. 

We cannot sit back and be apathetic about living for Christ, it has to be active, it has to be cognitive. We must live for him. We must run for him.

Scripture says it best:

But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. ~Deuteronomy 4:29


Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. ~Matthew 7: 7-8


We must seek God to find him.
