CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION:

1. God intentionally pursues you in the same way He pursued Israel:

For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search and find my sheep. 12 I will be like a shepherd looking for his scattered flock. I will find my sheep and rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on that dark and cloudy day. Ezekiel 34:1116 [NLT]

a. Are you willing/able to describe how God seemed to pursue you your heart?

2. Do any of these accurately describe why you might hesitate to pursue others?

a. We are distracted because we have so many things to pursue. b. We are deceived and following the wrong map or the wrong person. c. We delay in making a decision because it will cost us something.

3. What is it about the example of Jesus that empowers you to be more intentional about caring for others? (see scripture reference for help)

Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. Ephesians 5:1-2 [NLT]
