“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be open to you.” MATTHEW 7:7
How are you going to live with the losses, difficulties, and disappointments of your life? Jesus came that you may have life—and have it abundantly. He came so that you would have all you need for all that you face in every season and circumstance of your life.
Do not be satisfied with a small measure of life—a little faith, a little peace, a little joy. Jesus Christ has more to give than any of us has received. How do you get more? You get more in the same way you got what you have in the first place—by coming to Jesus. Jesus desires for you to ask Him and seek Him, so that you might receive from Him.
Think again about the picture of Jesus knocking at the door of your life. This person, who is knocking on the door of your life, knows you. He may seem like a stranger, but if you invite Him in, you will find that He knows everything about you. He knows who stole your joy, peace, love, or faith. He knows the full extent of what has been taken.
The person knocking on the door of your life is not a thief. He says, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10). He has more to give than you will ever be able to receive in this life.
Jesus loves you and He gave Himself for you. He has life in Himself, and He is able to give you life, because He laid down His life for you. When you see who it is that knocks on the door of your life, and what He can give, you will freely and gladly open the door and welcome Him in.
Can you hear Jesus knocking on the door of your life today?

Do You Need Hope This Easter Season?
Watch the powerful story of the thief on the cross today
The thief’s story of salvation is one that begins, literally, on the brink of hell. The pain this man had experienced throughout his life fueled his hate for God, so much so that he detested the man hanging there on the cross beside him. But then, for the first time, he began to fear God.
If you’ve found yourself in a similar place, there is hope. Hope because heaven is real, hope because we have a Savior, and hope because all you have to do is accept Jesus’ invitation.
