So I say to you, Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. (Luke 11:9-10)
Matthew 7:7 (Commentary)
Asking is not enough,
says Bede
the venerable
We must diligently seek
Read the blueprint
heart’s desire
Lay the first stone
On stone and stone
the house
reveals itself
Plan becomes a home
I must lay my heart
(rejected stone)
firmly in place
Daily build the home I seek

Go ahead and talk about him because he makes you doubt
Because he has denied himself the things that you can’t live without
Laugh at him behind his back just like the others do
Remind him of what he used to be when he comes walkin’ through
He’s the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You got a heart of stone
Bob Dylan, “Property of Jesus”
