"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." ~ Matthew 7:7
(Although I don't necessarily believe in literal interpretations of the Bible, there is a great wealth of wisdom therein. The above concept could well have come from any number of sources, both ancient and modern.)
Although we come to this world perfect and whole, we immediately develop needs and wants. Any person could easily name dozens of their own needs and wants. Often, the needs and wants become tangled up and twisted into knots. How do we separate what we want from what we need? Beyond the basic survival needs, what else is truly required?
The measure of a person comes from how they define this for themselves. It also comes from how they pursue their needs and wants.
Do you ask? Do you seek? Do you knock on the door? Or do you cringe, hold back your love, or complain, because what you need or want is not in front of you?
