Lately, I’ve been looking back at my very first attempts to find God, and I had questions about why an unsaved sinner could be "in the presence of God."
I wondered why God would even reach out to someone like me—a lost being trying to figure out who God was or if He even existed at all. But maybe, the fact that I was searching for Him made Him want me to find Him even more (which may not be perfectly theological, but it’s close)—Jeremiah 29:13.
And so now, as a born again believer, I find myself asking God why I could be important enough for Him to notice me, even when I was so unworthy, rebellious and far away from Him.
Then, in my spirit, I heard God say these words to me:
"Sin doesn’t surprise Me. I’m the One who let you live in it—but I’m also the One who loves you too much to just let you die in it." (Romans 3:23–24)
Looking back, I’m grateful that God didn’t wait for me to be "perfect" or have all the answers. He met me right where I was, in my questions and my doubts. And if He’s willing to do that for me, I believe He wants to meet anyone who’s searching—even if you’re still unsure or feel unworthy. That’s the kind of love and grace that changed my life, and it’s available to all of us.
If you’re on that journey too, keep looking—He’s closer than you think.
