Gospel: Matthew
7:7-12
Jesus
said to his disciples: “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; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door
will be opened. Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asked for a
loaf of bread, or a snake when he asked for a fish? If you then, who are
wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your
heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.
“Do to
others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the
prophets.”

Reflection:
Do you
always pray to the Good Lord?
You
always open yourself to God’s unfathomable graces when you ask Him, when you
seek Him and when you knock on His heart. These actions are signs of your
humility before God and you recognize God’s superiority over you and you
signify your need of Him.
Those who
deeply believe would eternally ask Jesus, eternally seek Jesus and eternally
knock on the heart of Jesus. They will never stop even if Jesus seems to be
deaf to their pleadings. Why? This is
for the reason that they have an inherent need of God.
When God
created us, He created us with an app to need Him yet many of us have the
tendency to disregard it for the reason that we think that we can exist in this
world without Him. But the truth of the matter is we cannot peacefully exists
in this world without God!
God is
good all the time if you ask and He doesn't give it to you yet. If you seek and
you have not found it yet and if you knock and the door has not been opened for
you yet. Dont give up, continue to storm the heavens with your prayers.
Soon
enough, God will grant your heart’s desire, for the key to have what you want
is in not giving up no matter how hard and gloomy the road that lies ahead. –
