Finding All About You
We are created to seek God. We are created to love God. We won’t feel right about life about ourselves
apart from seeking God apart from loving God. There was a love song in the 1970’s with the first line
I remember finding all about you.
As I was growing up, certain females my age caught my attention. Their feminine divine fascinated me. I wanted to know everything about them. The first line of that song totally made sense to me. In a different but similar way, I was also totally fascinated by lizards, frogs, salamanders, grasshoppers, praying mantises, waterbugs, rocks, streams and ponds; anything that flies - airplanes, gliders, hot air balloons, blimps, dirigibles, paper airplanes, model airplanes, rockets; later, internal combustion engines and old (often rusty) sports cars; then literature, philosophy books, the Bible. The list of stuff in the world that fascinates you is probably different than mine, of course. But fascination in the world is all the same. Every one of these (non-destructive) fascinations were and are components, facets of our fascination with God, whom all creation reflects and expresses. God is the underlying fascination to all fascinations, the only truly satisfying fascination, the culmination of all fascinations. Also, the only rest from our fears, insecurities, and aversions. The one, true, lasting joy. Who is this God who is love? Who is this God we love? We are created to seek and love God. We won’t feel right about life apart from seeking and loving God. Learning about God is loving God. Loving God, we want to find all about God.
