I fully agree. I just maintain that the seeking has to be earnest, or it is not to be regarded as seeking at all.
In Jeremiah, the Lord says "You shall seek Me and you shall find Me on the day that you shall seek Me with your whole heart." The Lord seems to be saying that the only kind of seeking which is real seeking is the whole-hearted kind.
This explains Jesus' warning in Luke 13 about agonizing to make it through the narrow doorway of true conversion.
Perhaps even more important, the statement found in Jeremiah fits beautifully with Romans 3:11. Paul really does believe that less-than-wholehearted seeking counts for nothing at all.
The whole picture is wonderful.
And the people all said Amen
