This week, a song has been circling in my mind—one of those melodies that follows you through the day, humming beneath everything else.

The More I Seek You.

The more I seek You, the more I find You.
The more I find You, the more I love You.

I keep returning to this idea of seeking and finding God—how there is always more of Him to discover, how we never reach the edges or exhaust the depths. God is endless. Not in a way that feels distant or overwhelming, but in a way that feels alive and inviting.

As I was putting E to bed tonight, a prayer was playing quietly in the background, and suddenly I heard words that stopped me in my tracks. A quote from Catherine of Siena—a near echo of the song that’s been living in me all week:

“O eternal Trinity, you are a deep sea:
the more I seek you, the more I find,
and the more I find, the more I seek to know you.”

I couldn’t believe it. The same truth, spoken centuries apart. The same invitation, finding me again.

Moments like that remind me that God is not far off or hard to find. He is real. He is present. And if we are paying attention—even just a little—we begin to see Him everywhere.

One of the verses our church has been reflecting on this week says it simply:

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29:13

I don’t think all your heart means striving harder, trying more, or mustering more willpower. I think it means wholeheartedly—an integrated life, where our attention, our love, our longing are directed toward Jesus. A life that isn’t compartmentalized, but oriented.

The goal of our life isn’t to reach the end of God—as if we ever could—but to spend our lives discovering Him, turning Him over like a gem in the light, finding new depth, new beauty, new delight.

We will never run out of God.

And somehow, that doesn’t weary the soul.
It wakes it up.
