CHASING GOD

"Really, it's an impossible phrase. We can no more catch Him than the East can catch the West, they're too far removed from each other...! It's like playing catch with my daughter.... I really don't have to run. I just artfully dodge...But... a few minutes into it, she laughingly says "Oh daddy " and... captures my heart. And then I turn and she's no longer chasing me, but I'm chasing her, and I catch her and we tumble in the grass with hugs and kisses. THE PURSUER BECOMES THE PURSUED.

So can we catch Him? Not really, BUT WE CAN CATCH HIS HEART.... That's the beauty of being a God-chaser: you're chasing the impossible, knowing it's possible." (From "the God chasers" by Tommy Tenney)
