"Never feel that Christ is far away. He is always near. His loving presence surrounds you. Seek Him as One who desires to be found of you. He desires you not only to touch His garments, but to walk with Him in constant communion. MH 85.2"
"That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:"
Both passages emphasize the nearness of God and the possibility of finding Him through seeking. EGW's passage amplifies this idea with the imagery of touching Christ's garments and walking in communion.
"And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."
Both passages highlight the promise that those who seek God will find Him. Jeremiah 29:13 provides a direct scriptural basis for EGW's statement about seeking and finding Christ.
