“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Matthew 7:7-8

This is a comforting promise that Jesus gives and a promise that we can be confident in. When we pursue God, He will show up. He may not always give us exactly what we ask for, but He will provide wisdom, understanding, patience, comfort, love, and freedom as He leads us to His heart.

And as we begin to see the heart of God working in our lives, may we do the same for others. We can get so wrapped up in ourselves, that we fail to make time for those who might ask of us. For those who are seeking understanding and wisdom. For those who knock at our door needing comfort, care, and love. Just as God prepares a place for us, let us prepare a place in our hearts for the compassion and care of others. Let us be known for our confidence to respond, embracing God’s heart, and enlightening the world with an open door to see Him through us.

Ask God to help you see His heart. Seek His Presence. Knock on His door. Then let your life be a testimony of your own answered prayers with a door that’s always willing to lead towards Him!
