Father God, so many lessons from this passage from Luke... but two really stand out to me: persistence and the state of our heart. It isn't just to those who ask that it is given, or to those who knock that it is opened, or to those who seek that find... but to those who are persistent. So often, Father, we give up too soon. We make a half-hearted attempt instead of giving ourselves fully to the pursuit of answers and knowledge. Let us pursue You with the same determination with which You have pursued us. Help us to dedicate ourselves wholeheartedly, Father. Not just in our outward actions. We judge by what we see, but You judge by the unseen, by what is in our hearts, our souls and our minds. Help us to renew our minds with Your Word and transform our lives into something beautiful on the inside, not just what others can see. Amen
