Ask, seek, knock

“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, NIV)

Miracle Connect’s ministry wouldn’t exist if we didn’t ask, seek, and knock. We are continually asking God to keep us close to Him so that everything we do will be in line with His vision and heart for the people of the Middle East and North Africa. Without this, we wouldn’t be able to seek and find those who are crying out for His love and mercy. There would be no doors to knock upon. Doors like Hafsa’s.

Overflowing with joy

“I quite often felt that God was dissatisfied with me,” shares Hafsa* from Morocco. “That he did not love me because of my sins and transgressions.”

Hafsa was particularly interested in why it was so difficult to pray—why there were so many distractions making it hard for her to keep up with the “duty of prayer” that was instilled in her from a young age.

When she came across Miracle Connect’s Facebook page, Hafsa decided to ask a member of our team about these things. “The counselor spoke to me about God’s unchanging love,” says Hafsa. “It is an unconditional love, and it has nothing to do with my behavior, good or bad. I was thrilled to hear such a statement. I felt relief.”

The team member shared about what Jesus did for Hafsa on the cross. The sacrifice He made on her behalf because of God’s love for her: “She told me about God’s love, which sets free those who are bound… Then she prayed with me, and since then I’ve been reading the gospel and feeling God’s presence in my life. My heart is overflowing with joy.”

Pray that Hafsa will grow in her faith and understanding while continuing to experience the joy of knowing that she is loved by her Savior.
