For many, the search for Jesus is initiated from experiencing an event in life so powerful, it awakens the dragons of faith; from pain so deep, it calls on the hidden fears of the soul in an effort to survive. For others it means a serious personal life survey that ultimately forces the confrontation with the futility, anesthetics, and despair in their lives. W. Scott Lineberry
About This Quote

The experience of searching for Jesus can be triggered in many different ways. Some will search for Jesus because they have been hurt so deeply that the pain is overwhelming. Others may seek Jesus when they are in a place where all seems lost and dark and there is no hope. And, for many others, the search for Jesus happens when life is good and there is nothing to worry about. It can happen to anyone at any time in life and it does not require any particular event or time in order to be initiated.
