In my last post The Calling.. I referenced Mathew 7:7-8 and at the very end of the post it says “knock knock”. I just thought I was ready for the door to be opened..
Mathew 7:7-8 talks about asking, seeking, and knocking and that everyone who does will receive, find, and the door will be open.

Am I the only one who always thought this would be a grand gesture from the Lord? A wonderful moment that would renew my hope and faith.. A life changing experience that would propel me into worshipping the Lord and thanking Him for all His goodness.

It wasn’t. It was a heart stopping gut punch. It was my heart breaking into tiny pieces as I tried to breathe and not get physically sick. It was seeing how blind I had been for so long and not knowing what to do about it. I had been so wrapped up in “my sufferings” I couldn’t see anything or anyone else’s sufferings. The door was opened and there was no closing it.

The very moment that I “knocked” the Lord went to work. Hindsight truly is 20/20. I have replayed every moment of that next day in my mind. Seeing very clearly the Lord’s hand in every direction. Even as I am typing this I am realizing before I “knocked”, the Lord was at work. Knowing what I was about to face He put people in my life months before and during the appointed time. WOW.

When we say “show me the way” He has- Jesus’s life shows us the way we should live ours.
When we say “show me a sign” He has- Jesus’s death on the cross was the sign for all man kind. Jesus told the criminal being crucified beside him in Luke 23:43 “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise” it was a sign that anyone, no matter what they’ve done, can receive forgiveness and external life in Christ Jesus. We must believe and we must ask “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” Luke 23:42

Is everything OK now? No. Am I still going through it? You better believe it… I have a feeling this is just the beginning.. the beginning of a… but God.

Isaiah 6:8 “ Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people?” Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me.”
