Google Search
By now, almost everyone knows what Google is, a search engine designed to do just that: SEARCH for whatever you are looking for on the web. It makes finding what you need on the internet fast and easy. I was thinking though, inside of each human is a search engine. A human longing to find something that can bring us happiness.

A young woman might be searching for something or someone to tell her that she is absolutely beautiful, loveable and worth pursuing. A young man might be searching for respect, for something or someone to let him know that he has what it takes. These are often lifelong pursuits, and they are not fast and easy to find.

Everyone who searched for Jesus found something they had been looking for all along. An encounter with Jesus made women realize that they were uniquely beautiful and worthy of the deepest love. And they found someone whose presence made them that much more beautiful. And men finally found a Leader worth following, and someone who could form them into a man worthy of much respect. “Seek Him, and you will find Him,” God has said. When we put the real Jesus in our search engine and really seek Him, we will find what we’ve been searching for all along. These are “Encounters with Hope.”
