seek and be transformed

Deuteronomy 4:29

"But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul."

Job 5:8

“As for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause,"

Psalm 24:5-7

He will receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation.Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.

Selah 

Lift up your heads, O gates. And be lifted up, O ancient doors,that the King of glory may come in.

"The True Self is who, in reality, you are and who you are becoming. It is not something you need to construct through a process of self-improvement or deconstruct by means of psychological analysis. We do not find our True Self by seeking it. Rather, we find it by seeking God. In finding God we find our truest and deepest self." David Benner

"To do for yourself the best you have it in you to do - to grit your teeth and clench your fists in order to survive the world at its harshest and worst - is, by that very act, to be unable to let something be done for you and in you that is more wonderful still. 

The trouble with steeling yourself against the harshness of reality that the same steel that secures your life against being destroyed secures your life also against being opened up and transformed." Frederick Buechner

Job 32:8

"But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand."
