Have a nice day! 🙂

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
– John 7:37-39

Jesus doesn’t whisper this invitation. He cries out so every thirsty soul can hear it. He isn’t offering a sip. He’s offering living water, the kind that fills, restores, and overflows. This isn’t about physical thirst. It’s about the deep places in us that long for peace, direction, healing, and hope. Jesus says: “Come to Me. Believe. Receive.” The rivers He speaks of aren’t small streams. They are Spirit‑given, life‑giving, and meant to flow through us to others.

A Blessing for your Day. May you feel that living water rising in you today, quiet strength, steady peace, and a fresh sense of God’s presence guiding your steps. Have a wonderful day.

Have a nice day! 🙂

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
– Matthew 7:7-8

This is one of the most beautiful and encouraging passages from the Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount.
Invitation to trust: It emphasizes God’s openness to those who approach Him with faith. Asking, seeking, and knocking are progressive steps of prayer and persistence.
Promise of response: The verse assures that sincere requests will be answered, not always in the way we expect, but in ways aligned with divine wisdom.
Active faith: It’s not passive; it calls for action. To ask is to pray, to seek is to pursue truth, and to knock is to persist until the door opens.
Catholic tradition, this verse is often tied to the idea of God’s providence and the importance of perseverance in prayer.

Protestant thought, it’s emphasized as a personal relationship with God, direct access through prayer without intermediaries.

Orthodox Christianity, the passage is seen as part of the ascetic journey: persistence in prayer and spiritual struggle leads to union with God.


Resonates across traditions because it speaks to the universal human longing for connection, guidance, and hope. through Jesus Christ our Lord to all believers. This is why the heart of Matthew 7:7-8 is so enduring.
I hope your day is filled with encouragement, peace, and joy as well. May you continue to find strength in the words of Scripture and feel uplifted in every step you take.

Father God, You, invite us to ask, seek, and knock, and You promise to hear our prayers. Grant us faith to trust Your wisdom, courage to pursue Your truth, and persistence to walk in hope. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, may every door we knock upon lead us closer to You. Amen.
