The Pursuit Never Ends

So I was out to eat with one of my sisters tonight and she was just sharing her heart with me. She was telling me some of what she believed and how she came to that belief system and it was just so beautiful to me.

I came to the realization that the pursuit never ends. We so often get into the mindset that we know all there is to know about a person. We may know a person well but we don't know all there is to know. Thinking that you know everything about a person can keep you from discovering the endless treasures that are inside of them! I learned new things about one of my best friends today that I didn't know and it almost brought tears to my eyes because of it's beauty.

Continuing the pursuit long after the relationship has been established keeps the excitement flowing wether in a friendship or romantic relationship. When any kind of relationship begins you are finding out all sorts of things about a person. You ask them questions trying to grasp the overwhelming goodness that is inside of them. It's exciting because you find someone in the world that you relate to. You experience a connection with them and so you want to be around them and spend time doing what they love to do. To sustain the fire in a relationship of any kind you need to go back to where it began. Water has to reach the roots of a tree for it to continue to flourish. We are meant as God's people to go from glory to glory. There will never be a point where we have "arrived" and know all there is to know about God and the same goes for people!

People are fantastic! I learn the most about God through people! We are all apart of Him. He is speaking through all of us. When our friends are standing in front of us it's as if He is standing in front of us. This week I encourage you to go back to the beginning. Pursue your loved ones as if you just met them yesterday. Trust me, the love that you have for them will only grow.
