It is not any mystery how to live with God There is nothing intrinsically mysterious about the "with God" life. It looks mysterious only to those who do not want it or who, for whatever reasons, will not take the simple steps toward it..... Of such people the word is spoken: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks the door will be opened" (Matt. 7:7–8). If, after some serious effort, you find that this is "not working" for you, stand back and reflect on what part of what you are seeking is not really wanted or what part of you does not want God's way. That is proven to be a necessary element of the growth process for those who really want to know Christ as living reality. No one can avoid it. It is a voyage in profound self-discovery.
