What Are We Looking For?

What Are We Looking For?

“When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’” — from John 1:38

What are we really looking for?

Are we searching out of curiosity—drawn by something we can’t yet name?

Are we looking for power, influence, or status—hoping faith will secure us a better seat at the table?

Are we looking because we have a problem we can’t solve on our own—pain, fear, grief, or questions that refuse to let us go?

Or is our searching something deeper than all of that?

Maybe we are looking for purpose when life feels meaningless.

For relief when our hearts are burdened.

For belonging in a world where we feel isolated and alone.

For love that isn’t contingent or transactional.

Jesus’ question invites honesty.

Because what we seek is often what we find, we must be careful about what we chase.

The question Jesus asked still waits for us today: What are we looking for?

Prayer

God of truth and grace,

give us the courage to be honest about what we seek.

Turn our hearts from what is shallow or fleeting,

and lead us toward that which brings life, love, and wholeness.

Amen.
