In the Seeking
I pray you had a wonderful Christmas this year!
On the night of December 22, 2025, I heard The LORD say, “Grow up into Me!”
I saw a picture of myself standing before Him ready to dance (ballroom style) and I was much shorter.
I don’t know where on Him I came to in height, but I was short. (We all fall short of the Glory, Romans 3:23) I thought to myself, “Well, how?”
He answered, “Just keep seeking Me.
Seek Me first and foremost, because I AM The First and Foremost!
Seek My Wisdom and Understanding!
Seek My discernment!
Seek My Knowledge!
Those are Gems found in Me that cannot be found anywhere else!
Seek out Who I AM!
Seek to understand the mysteries found in Me.
Seek My Love and what My Love means to you and has accomplished for you and all those you hold dear!
Seek My Ways which are different from yours!
As you seek Me and all that I AM, you will grow up into Me. For I seek a Holy Bride whom I can look at face-to-face at our Wedding Dance!
For all I have and all I AM are yours!
So seek Me and receive all that I AM. For I AM the Source of Life in you.
I AM the First and Foremost, you shall reign at My Side, and My Glory shall shine through you into the darkness. And every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is LORD!”
End of Word.
“’And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.’” Jeremiah 29:13 NKJV
He pursues us so gently, so sweetly, so tenderly! His Tender Mercies give us life where there would be death without Him!
Where He says, “Seek Me and receive all that I AM…” He is saying, while we can never stand face-to-face with Him of our own righteousness, or any goodness we might have, or works we might do, in the seeking, we become like Him in Him!
We cannot face Him on our own merit, but on His alone!
In the seeking, we become a reflection of Him and the beautiful work He has done in our lives!
Our gifts from Him are based solely on His Merit and cannot be earned by us!
His Great Grace comes to us as part of His Free Gift of His Life in us!
“Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.” Romans 5:18 NKJV
So while we endeavor to walk in obedience in service to Him, we do so as acts of pleasing sacrifices unto our King, keys to Kingdom living, and service to others.
They do not earn our salvation, or earn His Love. Those things come as free gifts from a Good and Faithful God Who loves us unconditionally.
The term “equally yoked” as used in scripture (2 Corinthians 6:14), uses the symbolic picture of yoked oxen — or other animals — yoked together for work.
If one is greatly bigger than the other, it puts a great strain on both animals during the work.
So it is with us; growing up into an Infinite, Mighty King would be impossible without Him!
It simply cannot be done without Him! In the seeking we become a beautiful Bride reflecting His Glory, His Love, the Fullness of Him, to all who we come across in our lives — including Him!
“For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of The LORD, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;” Colossians 1:9-10 NKJV.
Declare
“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of The LORD, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of The LORD.” (2 Corinthians 3:18 NKJV)
Let it be so with us, Jesus!
In Your Mighty Name we pray, Amen!
