If you do not have to seek, you will not find truth. If we take what is given to us, we cannot hope to discover the best. Gold is not found on a pathway, but is searched for and sought out.
We are curious beings, always wanting to know more. Know how things work, or what happens when. But our curiosity falls short of what it could be. What the end of our curious nature is and what the end should be are two different things.
We have the desire for the Truth. It is in our nature and how we have been created. But we have become lazy in our search for that Truth. We are easily distracted, television, radio, internet, all taking us away from the need to seek. Why seek Truth, when we can receive instant entertainment?
We need to seek Truth because the Truth is fulfilling, unlike the entertainment, even if it is wholesome. Truth is not a set of facts but a person. Jesus tells us “I am the way the truth and the life.” What we should be forever looking for and constantly in search of is the Truth which is found in Christ. But how often do we pursue the Truth, which is Christ? Instead we spend our time with curious distractions planted in our way by the one who want most to keep us from the Truth. The world is full of things that point us to the Truth, but we are called to delve into the source of that Truth. If we are seeking what is the most good, what is the most beautiful, and what is whole truth, then why would we not go straight to the source of goodness beauty and truth itself? Christ is the answer, Christ is the Truth and to know Him we must seek Him. Lord let our curiosity for you invite us to dive deeper into your life of love for us. Let us forever be restless as we continue our search for Truth until we find you.
