There is none that seeketh after God" (Romans 3:11). It was God who sought out and called Abram while yet an idolater. It was God who sought Jacob at Bethel when he was fleeing from the consequences of his wrong doing. It was God who sought Moses while a fugitive in Midian. It was Christ who sought out the
apostles while they were engaged in fishing, so that He could say, "Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you." (John 15:16). It was Christ who, in His ineffable love, came to seek and to save that which was lost. It is the Shepherd who seeks the sheep, and not the sheep that seek the Shepherd. How true it is that "We love Him because He first loved us." (1 John 4:19). It was not Adam who sought God, but God who sought Adam. And this has been the order ever since."
