“Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart...” (-God) Joel 2:12
"You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart (-God)." Jeremiah 29:11-13
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled (-Jesus)"
Matthew 5:6
"For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened (-Jesus)"
Matthew 7:8
God is giving us an open invitation to have a relationship with Him. He
desires intimacy with us, His children, above everything. He wants to
live and experience life with us on an individual level every day. In
the same way God said "It is not good for man to be alone" in Genesis
2:18, it is also not good for God to be alone. He created us to have a
relationship with Him. Only in a relationship with God through Jesus
Christ can we begin to understand our eternal identity. It is only then
we can learn who we are in Him and who He is in us.

Are You Naked Before Him?
Genesis 3:7 "Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they
were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves
loincloths."
Before they chose to do wrong, the only perspective Adam and Eve had was God's perspective. The reason they could walk in perfection was because not just their physical bodies- but their heart and minds were naked before God as well. God loves every part of us and wants to move in every area of our life until he consumes it with his glory. Even the areas of ourselves that cause us to feel hurt or shame need to be laid naked before the father. Why? Because only He can heal those wounds and fill those parts with his truth and love. Let Him take your hand and walk with you into his victory won by Jesus Christ after he died on the cross, rose from the dead three days later, and sat at the right hand of the Father. He did it for you.
Psalm 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
Jeremiah 30:17 "For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord, because they have called you an outcast: ‘It is Zion, for whom no one cares!’"
John 8:32 "And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
1 Chronicles 16:11 "Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!"
James 1:12 "Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him."
