Finding Freedom in Christ: The Transformative Power of Surrender Day 1

Devotional

Have you ever felt like you were too far gone for God to reach? Like Zacchaeus, many of us might feel unworthy or distant from God. But here's the beautiful truth - before we even think about seeking Him, He's already seeking us. Just as Zacchaeus climbed a tree to catch a glimpse of Jesus, God was already planning their encounter. This reminds us that no matter where we are in life, God is actively pursuing a relationship with us. He sees beyond our current circumstances, past our mistakes, and into the person He created us to be. Your desire to seek God isn't random - it's actually a response to His initial pursuit of you.

Bible Verse

"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." - Luke 19:10

Reflection Question

What obstacles might be preventing you from fully accepting that God is actively seeking a relationship with you?

Quote

 Before I ever started looking for him, he was looking for me. He came to seek and to save those who are lost.

Prayer

Lord, thank you for seeking me even before I knew to look for you. Help me recognize and respond to your pursuit in my life. Remove any barriers that keep me from experiencing your presence fully. Amen.
