We find ourselves saying this often. Pray that you may recieve, seek that you find. Knock an the door shall be opened
There was a story I read once about a dream; in the story, a man went to Heaven and saw many rooms. “What are these?” He asked. “Don’t worry, let us move on” the Angel said.
Wondering, He asked again and He was taken to one of the humongous storage mansions with his name on it. “Where I will stay” he thought.
“Open.” The Angel said and the door slid open. It was jam packed. In perplexity, the dreamer saw familiar things “Uhh! What is this?” He asked.
“Your store room” the Angel answered. It was full of things he had never seen before. Prayers he had thought of but never played.
How do you bottle “Joy?” So many bottles! Peace? Stacked up. Bundles of rope which appeared unused. “What are those?” He asked. “Rope for binding your problems. You never asked for…”
“You mean, I could have bound so many issues?” He asked.
“You never asked. What you bind on Earth is bound in Heaven. What you loose on Earth is loosed in Heaven.”
“No, no, no!” The man stated. “You mean those bottles…?”
“Blessings, ready to be poured on you. Just waiting for you to ask.”
“What!” The man said, realizing what he had missed. “Can we go now? Please.” There were so many unopened parcels.
Though he knew he ‘should’ be sad for missing what was ready for him to ask for. He was filled with an inexplicable joy. “The beauty, the peace…” He thought. “I see but cannot be saddened. I should have asked. When I was still on Earth, these things were ready! But the size of that place! All for me? Yet, rather than be sad. I am overflowing with joy.” He thought. “At least, I am here!”
Then he spoke up, “I vaguely remember an accident, why?”
The Angel replied, “that is what brought you here.”
“But…” The man started to ask…
“Do not ask.”
The man remembered there had been someone with him. “I guess…” he started to think…
“There are spiriys waiting to say “Welcome!” As they moved forward.
“Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When Thou saidst, Seek ye My face; my heart said unto Thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. Hide not Thy face far from me; put not Thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. Amen
Psalm 27:7-9
Have an awesome day today with much joy at the bountiful plenty we are given and we have.
“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who Love Him.”
James 1:12
“For the Son of Man is going to come with His Angels in the glory of His Father, and then HHe will repay each person according to what he has done.”
Matthew 16:27
