Ask, and it will be given to you;
search, and you will find;
knock, and the door will be opened for you.
—Luke 11.9
God is not a vending machine,
but the Mystery is abundantly generous.
Jesus doesn’t promise that we get what we want.
He invites us to question, to seek, to explore.
Ask questions, even doubtful ones;
in wondering find blessing, and gifts.
Eyes open, look for the grace that is always here
and you will find.
God is not the secret behind the door;
God is the door.
Always beckoning. Seeking you. Asking: knock.
Always opening.
