PROF DION FORSTER - Seeking God with All Your Heart: A Biblical Guide to Finding Divine Presence

Loading player...

This reflection explores the timeless spiritual quest of seeking God, inspired by Jeremiah 29:12-14. The discussion clarifies that God is not lost or hiding but is always present and waiting to be found. The key is our active, whole-hearted pursuit—comparing the urgency of searching for lost keys to the deep, vital necessity of seeking a relationship with the divine. Drawing on the wisdom of St. Teresa of Ávila and her concept of the "Interior Castle," the conversation emphasizes that finding God often requires an inward journey of self-discovery and patience. The takeaway is a powerful invitation to move from a passive longing for God to an active, desperate, and whole-hearted search, with the assurance that whoever seeks with all their heart will find Him.
