The Ultimate Love Note
“There is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; they have together become unprofitable; there is none who does good, no, not one.”
Romans 3:11-12

Ponder This
Your salvation did not start with you; it started with God. This passage says clearly there's no one who seeks after God—not one person. You may object that you know plenty of people seeking after God. But the only reason they seek after God is because He first sought them.
When I was in the sixth grade, I looked over at a girl sitting about four desks and two rows over from me. Her name was Joyce Louise Gentry. She's now Joyce Louise Rogers, but I saw her there in the sixth grade. I wrote a love note, and I walked by and dropped it by her desk. She first looked at me and wondered, “Who is this fellow?” But do you know why she loves me? Because I first loved her. The Bible is God's love note. It is God saying, “I love you, I desire to be your Lord, I desire to be your Savior.” You may thirst for God, but He made you thirsty for Him. God put that thirst in you, and the reason we thirst after God is because He is seeking us.

- How have you recognized God’s pursuit of you over your life?
