"We will never find God unless He first seeks us, but we should remember that He can do so in very different ways. 

Sometimes, God jumps on us dramatically... and we have a sharp sense of His love. 

Sometimes He quietly and patiently argues with us even though we continue to turn away. 

How can you tell if He is working on you now? If you begin to sense your lostness and find yourself wanting to escape it, you should realize that that desire is not something you could have generated on your own. Such a process requires Help, and if it is happening it is a good indication that He is even now at your side. " 

-Timothy Keller
