Henri Nouwen speaks of men and women who live with "an ardent desire to dwell in God's presence, to listen to God's voice, to look at God's beauty, to touch God's incarnate Word [Jesus] and to taste fully God's infinite goodness...."

Nouwen’s words sound a bit like what king David prayed when he opened his heart to God and confessed in Psalm 27:8: "When You said, ‘Seek My face,’ my heart said to You, ‘Your face, O lord, I shall seek."?

God is seeking true worshippers today who long to SEEK HIS FACE. He is looking for people whose ardent desire is to dwell in His presence, to listen to His voice, to look at His beauty, to touch His Son, and taste His infinite goodness. Will you be one of those people?

Did you know God is inviting you to dwell in His presence? Did you know God is inviting you to listen to His voice? Did you know God is inviting you to look at His beauty, to touch His Son Jesus Christ, to be filled with His precious Holy Spirit, and to taste the infinite goodness of God?
God is inviting you! And you will never be more blessed if you will just draw near to Him, seek His face, bask in His presence, look into His eyes, fellowship in His glory, and tell Him how much you love Him.

Hear the Word of the Lord: Psalm 119:10 says, "With all my heart I have sought Thee..." In Amos 5:4 God says, "Seek Me that you may live." In Isaiah 55 God says, "Incline your ear and come to Me....Seek the Lord while He may be found" (verses 3,6). Psalm 95:6 says, "Come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker." In John 4:23 Jesus shares the very heart of God when He says, "an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers."
