Intro to a Passionate pursuit

I have had a weird desire to write about some of the things I have learned over the last 6 months. I think I have learned and taken to heart more about God in the last 6 months then possibly the 24 years prior to that moment. I would say that God used the circumstances of a break-up to push spark a spiritual revolution, and I am truly thankful that my God will attempt to reach me with whatever means necessary. This is the first part of passionate pursuit. GOD PASSIONATELY PURSES US! I wish to explain ways that God does this, and why God does this. It isn't always the way we think it should be, and we like to complain about circumstances or say that God does not love us because he let crap happen. God lets stuff happen so that all we can do is rely on him, which brings me to part 2. WE MUST PASSIONATELY PURSUE GOD. I feel that way to many people do not completely understand these topics, but I know it is the best way. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing." 2 Timothy 4:7-8. I want to get the end of my life and be able to say this. I don't want it to be I fought the fight better then him, I tried to finish the race, and kept the faith better then him. Quoting Yoda, "Do or do not, there is no try." I think so many Christians feel that trying to purse God is enough, and you probably know if you are not trying as hard as you can. I knew that I wasn't, but I needed a swift kick in the butt to start. So I will talk about some of the books I have read, and things I have figured out over the last 6 months in hopes that this could be the spark for a passionate pursuit that someone needs. I'll be honest and say that this stuff more aptly applies to men, and women may not understand all of it, because more often then not women have no clue or have no desire to know what a guy truly struggles with. God made men to see beauty, and women to want to be beautiful. In the context of marriage, and a God view this works wonderfully, but Satan transposes this for guys to seek more, and women to never feel beautiful, which works counter to God's design and Satan's goal. I think this is enough of an intro, but I hope to be back with more of the journey!
