Isaiah 55:6-9 ESV
“Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
7 let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Seeking God involves rising above our own thoughts, interests, and view. He is nearest when we distance ourselves from our ways and sit in His presence. This rising takes place as we are able to kneel at His feet.
There we find compassion and love. Though we can experience this through His Spirit and know this to be true, we will be unable to exhaust our understanding or fully plumb the depth of the riches of this unmerited gift.
