And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. (Mark 12:30 ESV).

How do you seek Jesus when he is not visible? You cannot touch him or match his power. Faith is the key to seeking and walking with Jesus. Faith affects how you think, believe, and live with exuberant passion for Jesus. By faith, seek Jesus and learn to love on him.

How is it possible to love God this way? Seek him.

Spend intentional time alone with God at a park or on a walk, taking in the silence and observing his creation.

Read the Bible and talk to Jesus about what you are learning. Ask him questions and listen as he leads you to the answers.

Journal what Jesus reveals. Keep a continuous diary of your relationship with him.

Fellowship with other people who believe in Jesus to grow in relationship with him together.

Worship Jesus by listening to praise music. Sing songs with gusto, alone or in a group.

Thank Jesus––frequently. Recognize his role in both the big and small blessings of life, and thank him for what he is doing.

Remember to talk to Jesus throughout the day—nothing is too small or too big to discuss with him. Frequent communication fine-tunes your spiritual ear to hear him when he speaks.

Simply put, Jesus wants you to seek him with every part of your being and every aspect of your life.

Pursuing him takes time and intentionality. Relationships grow when two people put forth effort to know each another. A relationship with Jesus is no different. In seeking Jesus, you begin to understand the complexity of the heart.

Select one of the ways listed to seek God. And do it with passion and perseverance this week and see what happens.
