Ask, Seek, Knock



" 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; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."                                               
                                                                                               Mathew 7:7-12

I am always someone who’s good at hiding my real feelings, especially when I’m a bit sad. Well, just this week, I was feeling really bad about myself. I badly want to be a teacher but nobody seems to want to help me and I barely had gotten any calls from schools where my applications were sent. It’s such a bummer. I got no work, and it finally sink in that I can no longer be with my boyfriend at all times.  I am at the point of desperation when suddenly my sister asked me about my FB status about me crying again. I hated me for being silent when she asked and right then and there, I just burst into tears. It was stupid of me to show her I cried because I don’t want to appear weak to anybody’s eyes. But she is my sister, I know that I’m very dear to her so I let myself be. I just cried to her. It felt good and in the middle of it, I got a text message from the school I emailed my application to that same morning. They asked me for a demo teaching tomorrow. Right in the middle of my desperation, God intervened and reminded me that He is not closing His doors to my dreams. He was looking at me at that very moment and He acted upon it instantly. This is my chance.

So hopefully tomorrow I will be the best that I can be and I pray that God will be with me the whole time because that’s what I want to happen from this day on and forward. When I had the job and the money, I don’t remember God but when I have nothing, I still have Him and He still listens to me. My God is a good God and I vowed at church today that through good and bad times God will stay in my heart no matter what.

I feel so ashamed because my faith in God wasn’t constant for the past years, but He showed me that He still love me despite of my imperfections. This time around, I will be a good child to the Lord and will always try my best every day to be good to other people especially to my loved ones.


For now, I have to hit the sack. Tomorrow is a new day of hope, praise and love!
