Seeking Me?

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.  John 4:23

A true worshipper? Yes, I want to be that! Surely then the Lord will have my name in that book of His. Easily do we lock on to our part in this verse and may miss what the Lord God is doing here: Seeking. Seeking me? Oh wait, I see it now. The Lord is only seeking true worshippers. I'm done for. It will be those holier than thou folks over there in that building that get chosen. And yet when the Lord Jesus met those we might judge as true worshippers, the Pharisees, He came down on them like the proverbial ton of bricks. So who is God seeking? Seeking me? Well, unlike the Pharisees, my outward behavior certainly does not qualify at a great many times in this life as a true worshipper, so there is that. And then there are those two persons of the Trinity that sound a lot like how God is seeking worship. One is the Spirit of our Lord given to us by Jesus; that can't be a coincidence. Then there is the One giving the Spirit who introduces Himself in John 14:6 as the truth. That must not be by happenstance either. So if the Spirit is the spirit of worship, and Jesus is the Truth of worship, then just maybe God is seeking those who do not have a monstrous rule book and a fearsome resume to present to Him at the judgment, and is seeking those who need the Spirit and the Truth for salvation! 

Rejoice! There's good news in them there pages of the Bible!
