Access to God

"But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul". Dueteronomy 4:29

From this point forward I can have access to God if I but seek him with all my heart, soul and being. I am not alone. I have the promise that he will allow me to find him. My part of the bargain is that I must seek him with my whole soul, which is symbolized by my heart.

What does it mean to seek something with one's heart and soul? Seek implies a journey not a destination. Seek is an action verb. If one seeks, one looks and inquires and searches for something. Is "seeking" an attitude? Yes, but I think seek means something more, like thirst, hunger or desire. Almost as if there is an intense inner drive that motivates action. Could "seeking" be a way of being?
