Introduction

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 KJV

I got saved decades ago when I was just a child. I've kept faith in Jesus; although I've had battles of faith and attacks on my beliefs, by the grace of God, I still believe. Yet, if I am honest with myself, I have to admit that I wasn't following Him; not consistently, not for most of those decades.

The weight and concerns of the world and the desires of it have been the apple of my eye. As a natural result of trying to serve two masters, I've been torn. I've went through cycles of peace and cycles of fear. Of love and of selfishness. Of helping and hurting others.

"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. -- Matthew 6:24 NIV

I've spent the last few years seeking God, and trying to submit to Him; to release my attachment to this world. Allowing God to untangle desires, develop faith, blow away clouds of confusion, and reveal lies.

Neither am I a writer, nor a preacher, nor a teacher. I'm certainly not an authority on faith, but I felt led to document what I've learned. Mostly picked up from sermons, devotionals and my own prayer time. Maybe there is something found here that can help you. My hope is that you can find something here that after reading, thinking about, and -- most importantly -- praying about draws you closer to God.
