Jeremiah 29:13
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
When my Daddy was murdered twenty years ago, I was numb. Over a period of time I became a bit detached from life. Ten years ago my Momma suffered a painful and slow death related to diabetes. She lost her sight, the ability to walk and then lay in a hospice to receive a lethal dose of morphine that put her to rest. People, I have every reason not to believe that there is a God.
Later I would lose my wife and personal relationships to my three beloved children. I live in a one bedroom apartment and live out a meek existence. I should certainly not believe in God or have any hope. So why do I insist that there is God?
I insist because it is true. Truth overcomes doubts, pains, sufferings and any circumstances. It may not be able to provide what we want but it certainly provides what we need: faith, hope and love.
1 Corinthians 13:13
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Due to my faith I have been blessed with a very strong relationship with the Lord in Spirit. He is constantly with me. I am not alone as there are many brothers and sisters in Christ in this world. We have a living awareness of the Lord because we sought after it.
This is the Way. To seek, to knock, to ask and to receive.
Matthew 7:7-8
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.
ALWAYS.
