You know, I've never really considered the the whole truth in Matthew 7:7. It reads: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." I have a tendency of only considering the "Ask" and "Seek" from this verse; but not until now am I considering the third option: Knock.
Our Creator is Holy and because of His Holiness we tend to allow for guilt to rule over His love. You see, God Loves us sooooo much that he laid down his life so that we would have life- and not die as our sin deserves.
Being perfect is not in the job description of being a believer or follower of Jesus Christ. Jesus wants our love and companionship. He longs to pour out His love on our lives; but we push him away. Why? Could it be that the guilt of our failures is at a higher standing in our lives than God's sacrifice(the bridge that links us together again)?
Perhaps we don't understand how a Mighty God would still love and pursue us inspite of our deliberate disobedience. But that's okay, you don't have to :)
Jesus says to "Knock and the door will be opened." So it does not matter where you are right now,where you've been, or where you will be tomorrow; Jesus' promise remains. You don't have to worry about being rejected or left to fend for yourself. Know that the door will be open; if only you knock.
You are so right...I needed to hear this.
