Ask, seek, and knock

The Christian life is the best life you will ever live; it is not only great now, it is essential to eternity. I know that Christianity is not a popular subject in our day and time, especially with certain folks, but I know that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and SAVIOR, and I am grateful that He that I was worth saving.

Again, the benefits of Christianity are not just for this life but for eternal life. Without JESUS, there is no way to spend eternity in Heaven. I know others may disagree and tell me I am crazy, which is fine, but I believe it with everything that I am. And, I have no doubt that if others would give their hearts and lives to JESUS their lives and this world would be tremendously better. You may even be asking, how? I am glad you asked.

Today's word is Luke 11:9, NASB, which reads, "So I say to you, ask, and it will be give to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."

If you want to have a relationship with JESUS, all you have to do is ask. In VBS, we are taught that it is as simple as ABC. A - admit to GOD that you are a sinner. (We have ALL sinned and fallen short of GOD'S plans and desires). B - believe that JESUS is GOD'S Son, Who came in human form, lived a perfect life, died for our sins, and rose again. C - Confess to others that you have accepted GOD'S plan of salvation, by grace through faith in JESUS CHRIST. If you will do these things, you will be saved.

JESUS has such great plans for us all. I often wonder what blessings I may have or am missing just because I don't ask. As today's verse reminds us, if we want to be close to JESUS and do His will, all we have to do is ask, seek, and knock.

Be Blessed,
