From the beginning The Father gave Jesus to us as our Mediator and Advocate, our Great High Priest. It is through Christ Jesus that we are able to become one with the Father again. The Gospel of John reveals some of these truths to us, it would be a blessing to read the first few chapters of John. Scripture is so beautiful and if we read, asking the Holy Spirit's help, we will be granted the greatest blessing we will ever receive. May we all continue to pray and read and grow up into the likeness of Jesus - that by beholding we will become changed - that we will have the character of Jesus revealed in us. And to be a blessing to one another. May God bless us all and may we all be ready for the soon coming of Jesus. In Jesus name I pray. Amen Amen

I would rephrase this:
In Jesus, God takes the initiative in seeking us.
