Seekers Wanted
As a child, I often played hide-n-seek.
Hide-n-seek was a favourite game to play with our own children, especially in holiday homes, with so many fun places to hide.
Turning the lights off at night and hiding in the dark was always a riot.
Remember counting to 10, then shouting โHere I come, ready or not!?โ
๐๐๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ to find someone in the dark with a torch light was such fun!
The word ๐ฌ๐๐๐ค means to go in search of, try to discover, try to acquire, with energy, direction, passion, and purpose. And that was always the case with hide-n-seek!
๐๐๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ implies so much more than merely looking.
๐๐๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ is always more of a journey, than any single event.
And on any journey, there are always many peaks and valleys.
I encounter many in the world looking for answers to the question that Jesus asked in the New Testament, โWhat ๐ฌ๐๐๐ค ye?โ โ John 1:38
How would you answer Jesusโ question?
Are you ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ something?
Money, wealth, a job, success, a good reputation, happiness, security, comfort?
Like many things in life, success, money, security, are fleeting, elusive, often uncertain and anything but guaranteed.
Are you scrambling in the dark?
Where are you ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ with your torchlight in hand?
In their response to Jesus, the disciples responded by saying they were not ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ something, but rather ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐จ๐ง๐.
They were ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ the Messiah.
The disciples werenโt the only ๐ฌ๐๐๐ค๐๐ซ๐ฌ that day.
Jesus Christ too, was and is a ๐ฌ๐๐๐ค๐๐ซ.
He too is looking for disciples to follow Him, two millennia ago and today.
Real happiness does not come from ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ things; it comes from ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ Jesus.
As you ๐ฌ๐๐๐ค for Jesus Christ, youโll recognise too, that He is ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ you.
His light is far more powerful than your torchlight.
Daily, honest ๐ฌ๐๐๐ค๐๐ซ๐ฌ of truth find an answer to the question, โWhat ๐ฌ๐๐๐ค yeโ through missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
And you can too.
What ๐ฌ๐๐๐ค ye?
