I tell you: 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; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Luke 11:9-10
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7
To quote from C. H. Spurgeon's one sermon,
I was told lately by a young man who had been in Scotland, that he came one day to a gate, when the gate-keeper's little girl ran down and shut it, saying, "You have not to pay anything to pass; you have only to say, 'Please allow me to go through.'" The young man did as he was directed, and simply repeated, "Please allow me to go through," and the gate was immediately opened. The owner just wished to preserve the right of entrance; that was all. So, simply "ask, and it shall he given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."
It always is a pleasure as parents to fulfill the needs of our children when they specially ask for it, is it not? That's the same concept. Our Father in heaven, seeks our communication with Him, so He says, "come, ask, what do you want?". It is after all our relationship He enjoys.
Should we then deny our privilege or accept it whole heartedly? You can decide for yourself. I plan to ask, seek & knock!
