Family Scripture: “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).

Updates

First, I want to thank you for the notes and gifts for my birthday.  I have always been one who almost forgets the day — really, and it has nothing to do with the fact that I keep getting older 🙂 — so being reminded by my students was really special. Thank you!

As I was working on the web page announcement for this week and found the Question connected to our Christian Character Formation Project, I had to stop and pause.  I wonder how often I actually pursue Jesus.  Do I seek Him with all my heart?  Do I go before Him, wanting His answers to my questions?  Do I run to Him with gratitude, with genuine worship?  Despite my failures to do so, I can confidently say that He pursues me.  What a great love He has for me — for all of us.
