Interesting Bible verse

“[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; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”- Matthew 7:7-8

I stumbled upon this bible verse while i was looking for something else. It amazing what God throws at us sometimes.

This verse means a lot to me and my life. To me, this verse is telling me that if you ask, you will be given for the thing you asked for most of the time. If you take the time to seek what you are looking for, you will find it. The word knock in this verse, means that if you ask God for opportunities to do something, he will give you opportunities. Just remember though, to make the most out of every opportunity, because it might be once in a lifetime opportunity.

Just remember to ask, seek and knock for opportunities in your life, and you will be given god given opportunities.

Settle your differences

I know everyone has been in an argument over their beliefs with someone. For some people, including myself, I have a hard time accepting other people beliefs or opinions sometimes over certain things.

Recently I got into this bitter argument with one of my friends over whether God existed or not. I know that I wouldn't be on earth, or even born if god didn't exist. God is my best friend and I love him like he's my brother. My friend on the other hand, believes that a spirit created everything. The point of what I'm gonna say is very serious, and it affects everyone's friendships every day.

We need to try to settle our differences when it comes to our opinion. It not good to hold a grudge against someone, because you told like their opinion or what they believe. Think about his, if people didn't have different opinions, then we wouldn't even have elections. I know it can be hard, but try to respect others opinions.

I regret being rude to my friend and his views, but no one is perfect, so I will learn from the past and not repeat it in the future. I am also glad that we have stayed friends, and have since settled our differences.

Lets try to make the world a better place by settling our differences, and bringing piece to your relationships with others

Plan in life

You might have a plan in life. You might know what you want to be when you grow up. You might know what your family is gonna be like when you grow up. The truth is though that you might have a plan, but the best thing is to follow God's plan for you.

God knows the best things for you. The changes that happen, that you might not expect, happen for the better. They might actually help you become a better person. God also has a purpose each of us on the earth, that might be different then what you want.

Think about the following:

Joesph didn't believe Gabriel that Mary was having a baby.
Mary and Joseph never expected that they were going to have God's son.

We need to expect the unexpected in life, because sometime the unexpected is what is best for us. Also, follow God's plan in life and not yours.

God is the best person alive
