The Word of God states that “when we
seek [Him] we will find [Him] when we
seek [Him] with all of [our]
hearts” (Jeremiah 29:13). The Scriptures are
filled with countless examples of seekers

individuals who sought to know and keep

who delighted in and craved for Him with
their whole hearts (Psalm 119:2, Amplified).
Indeed, the Bible even bears witness to
some very powerful experiences of young
people who found and fellowshipped with
God. Although small in stature and short on
life experience, personalities such as
Samuel, Daniel, King David, the Virgin Mary
and our Lord, Jesus Christ Himself,
experienced communion with God at a
young age.
