I'm not a good scripture quoter.
Another way to put it would be that our longing for love, for rest, for shelter, for protection, for happiness - can only be found when we seek those in God. When we seek those in the world, we will invariably be disappointed, heart broken, lonely, lost, and ultimately, we will die alone, not knowing our destination.
Sinners are not seeking love. They are seeking sin. None of us were seeking God. We were seeking sin because we hated God.
Psalm 14:2-3
The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
The idea that a person was really seeking God is a false teaching. It flatters the sinner and gives him a part in his own salvation.
Not one perosn on the face of the earth seeks God until God grants that person repentance
Don't take this as a personal attack on you. I just hate the traditions of men that are taught in todays church.
