What does pursuing God mean?

This question was brought up in our small group tonight about what does pursuing God look like? This is a very common phrase tossed around in Christian communities about how we should always be on the pursuit of God. When I heard this i really thought about it, and i really could not give a direct answer. THis really puzzled me and kept throwing around in my head what is pursuing. In worldly terms the pursuit of anything such as a girl, would be to really get to know someone to seek after them in hopes you can start a relationship with them. I kept picturing in my head brining God flowers, chocolates, and writing little notes to him lol... then it kind of hit me. I think that is exactly how we pursue God with a few minor changes. Instead we spend time with God in prayer and worshipping him with our lives. We come to him to talk and really just bring questions to him and talk with him, trying to learn as much about him as possible, and building a relationship with him. Instead of chocolates and flowers we give him our lives trust in him fully.The little love notes are our prayers, God loves to receive these gifts as any of us would he deserves these gifts and so much more. We go into the world and tell everyone about him. I mean of coarse you will talk about God with everyone you meet when you are in a relationship you always talk about the other person about how great they are to everyone you meet. SO we do the same with God.

God is in a constant pursuit of us and wants to build this relationship. He wants to give us gifts and embrace us and walk with us through the hard times, he is a relational God and meets us all on very personal levels. He is a God of love and he also needs us to pursue him (I don't mean i actually needs us for him to be God). Not sure if any of this actually makes any sense, but it was running through my head and makes sense to me.
