Thursday of the First Week of Lent

Today's Readings


Matthew 7:7-12

I really enjoyed this passage, but the first line really stuck with me. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

“What am I looking for?"
First off, being in constant communication with God allows one to seek answers and create opportunity to become enlightened. It may be about personal discovery, hardships in life, or any experience in need of guidance that God will lead him/her in the right direction and give them the ability to find what they are looking for.

From life’s point of view, I see this in three different stages of finding what one is looking for. No matter what the circumstances are, one must have a voice and ask the questions of: “What am I looking for?" and How can I achieve this?” Next, when the question is asked, one must seek the answer and create a path on how to find it. When preparation is done, one must then take action and implement that plan in order to achieve exactly what they are looking for. The path to the answer will not be easy, or perfect, it will be hard and spread with many obstacles - but if those initial questions are not asked, then one will never achieve what one is looking for.

Some people seek faith, some seek forgiveness, some seek acceptance, while others seek purpose in life. Through it all, there is always a question that can only be answered through action and one’s commitment to follow the path of discovery.
