Made for God
This section explores themes and experiences in our life which lead us to seek God
1. Searching
‘Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Everyone who asks receives; everyone who searches finds; everyone who knocks will have the door opened.’ (Matthew 7.7)
This is Jesus promise to you.
Are you seeking to know the truth?
to know the meaning and purpose of your life?
to know who you are?
to know why you exist?
Many people today have given up asking such questions.
They have despaired of ever knowing the truth.
Some people even reject the very idea that there is truth.
They say that truth can never be known.
But Jesus makes this promise to us:
‘Seek, and you will find.’
Keep asking the question.
The most urgent questioning of your heart will be answered.
Do not give up the search.
Your searching will lead you to a treasure
more wonderful and valuable than you can imagine. (Matthew 13.44-46)
Bang on the door
with absolute confidence that it will be opened to you.
But will you open the door?
Jesus says, ‘Here I am! I am standing at the door, knocking.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,
I will come in and eat with him – he and I together.’
If I want the door that leads to eternal life to open for me,
then I must open the door of my life and allow Jesus to enter in.
Truth can be given to me
only insofar as I am willing to give myself to Truth.
