seekers

Have you heard of seeker-friendly churches? My word refers to seekers, but this term implies something else. It means those who are casual or tentative in their search. The seekers mentioned in my word are understood to be pilgrims and sojourners, moving forward even as they wander, and never looking back. There is an implied full commitment to continue on despite hardships and loneliness and weariness, for what they seek is not of this world, even as I am not of this world. Does this sound discouraging? Doesn’t my word promise that if you seek you will find? It promises that if you seek me you will find me if you seek for me with all your heart.
