Pursuing the Favor of God!

What if you found out that God is a stalker? I know. I know. I completely understand your hesitation. For some, to consider God as a stalker may be offensive. However, if you read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation there is one thing that keeps happening over and over - God running, chasing, and pursuing us.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of

my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

- Psalms 23:6

Isn't it interesting that God is the one who comes to us and, out of the blue offers us His favor. It seems a bit odd, but when you think about it, the only thing we have to do in our relationship to God is...respond. When we think we are seeking God, we find that He has sought us first. When we think we are loving God, we find that He has loved us first. When we think we are pursuing a relationship with God, we find that He was pursuing us first. He really is a stalker
