Matt 7:7 Try this exercise:

1.) Look to the person beside you and Ask them something without using Words. Did you get an answer?

2.) There is a treasure box hidden in the room. Search for it without Getting up. Did you find it?

3.) Knock on a door in the room. Did It open for you?

Crazy huh? Often, in my Searching I've been given answers to Questions I didn't even know I had. Sometimes, I have a need but I don't Even know what it is. And often, I'm Pounding on a door that I have no Right to even stand at. My question in this Scripture Was always in accordance to the Word That says God knows the desires of our Hearts and will give us what we need, When we need it. If that was true, why Waste time asking for things I not only Didn't need, but things God had no Intention of giving?

Many always say to me, You'll See your son again, have faith. I hear People say to adoptive parents, God Will bless you with a baby, have faith. But how do we really know? These Are just the desires of our hearts, and Truly, God will give what He intends to Give and when He intends to give it.

So, what's the point of asking?

For everyone who asks, receives. Ten years ago, in a hospital bed with my Newborn son in my arms I asked God To tell me what to do because there was No way I was going to make the decision Myself. I told God, You know the desire Of my heart is to keep him, but I Ask that you make this choice Because that's the only way I can Live with it. His answer, was Adoption. And it tore me apart. But I was obedient to that, knowing That I could trust my Father more So than myself and that He would Show me the Purpose in it.

Everyone who searches, finds. After the adoption went wrong, and I lost my son, I fell into anger and panic. How could God ever have told me to do this, Knowing that promises would be Broken and I'd loose him? How Could God ask me to do that, Knowing the years ahead would Only be disastrous and treacherous? So I began to search. Not only For answers but for my little boy. I got answers from the agency, and Over the years discovered how Irresponsibly they'd acted. That Most of the fault went to them. Still, it didn't make things better. And then, I found my son. The Ten year search had paid off. But I couldn't just pick up the phone And call him, and I couldn't go To him. I had the answers, and I Had found my son. Yet things Were still as painful as ever. So I searched further and harder. And I came upon a door. On it's Front there was a sign, and the sign Read, Purpose.

For everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. My door was a door that led to understanding. Behind the door were adoptive parents, expecting mothers, and birthmothers. And within me, a desire to reach out. To find hope in my loss, to gain understanding in my confusion. To fulfill God's promise to me that my life and my son's life would not be in vain. Despite the sorrow and the agony, I knocked. And the door opened. It was a place I never expected to be. Here at adopting.org.

So when you ask, expect an answer. When you search, expect to find. When you Knock; know the door will open.

But be prepared it may not be What you thought.

It will be far greater.
