In the words of Abraham Joshua Heschel, “God is pursuing man” (God in Search of Man, p.136). God loves us enough to reach out to us and wrestle with us. We are sought and pursued by God all our lives; He grapples with us, urging and gently pushing us beyond our comfort zones.
So, where do we stand in our wrestling matches with God? How has God been wrestling with you? Do you feel powerless and alone, enduring a dark night? Are you struggling to face your doubts, fears, and sins? Do you wonder if God stands against you as you stare into eternity? Life is not easy. It’s a struggle, and we may long wrestle—but not for God’s embrace.
