Seek and Ye Shall Find
Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh is shall be opened.
(matt.7:7-8)
This was the simple invitation Jesus gave to us all. For us to begin our spiritual quest for purpose, fullfillment and meaning by starting with prayer. The search for answers to what we need, want and answers to critical turning points or crisis are found through diligent prayer. Frin humble posture of prayerful moments spent on bent knees many seekers have received vivid answer of hope and at other times a resounding no when one door shuts, but onother opens to a new possibility. Christ, Jesus, gave us the promise that if we seek diligently we will be rewarded for our seeking.
We should think of ourselves as travellers asking for guidance, whilst making a new road through uncharted land. If we fail to ask we may wander lost for only God knows how long. Yet with time spent in diligent prayer then our questions will be answered.
Our earnest seeking with consistant practice (and this is perhaps the difference between a practicing Christian and a believer.) of prayer will enhance our journey and our lives. Everyone who prays and seeks with an earnest heart will receive. Rich, poor, young, old, man or woman. All people can be seekers and are welcome through grace to ask the Lord to grant them mercy and fulfill their needs.

My eldest son is here now and was good enough to do some of Buster`s training with him. I had better end this blog here and have some father/son and dog time together.
Love and peace to all beings, Your brother in Christ, Peter.
