seeking GOD

This is from a while back but I thought it would be a good spot-blog filler inner.
I was listening to a sermon by td jakes a couple of days ago (which I had downloaded a few months prior). I had heard the sermon before but figured it might me a good listening since I didn’t have too much to do and didn’t require too much attention. What was so great about this message was that it was the sermon that brought me humbly back to my knees before GOD. Basically, it was about the attitudes in which we approach GOD in. How do we seek him? Is it by love or is it almost forced (like a chore)? Then it got me thinking...
I know that personally, when it came to someone I liked, I could not wait talk to them and/or be with them. But at the same time, I would say that I loved GOD more than anything but the attitude in which I came before him with was anything but the attitude of seeking a loved one. Once again, how is our attitude in which we approach GOD? Do we come to him daily like it were a chore that had to be done, or do we seek him fully like a loved one (and so much more).
I think that's where my attitude and relationship with my lord really changed. As a result, I found myself loving everything about my relationship with my lord: I found myself loving coming to GOD, loving his word, his presence, his glory, his promise, and so much more.
I just wanted to share praise in my heart with you guys.
BTW - I’m not a particular follower of Mr. Jakes teaching or theology, but I do think he definitely can be inspiring sometimes.
