Cry Out To Jesus

Last night I watched a movie called "The diary of a mad black woman". There was a scene where the husband comes home with his mistress to tell his wife of eighteen years that her things are packed up in a u-haul and that she needed to get out of his house because the mistress was moving in. 

The wife was stunned and refused to leave, there was a scuffle, somehow she ended up on the floor kicking and screaming and the husband dragged her across the floor and threw her out of the house, locking the door behind her. She knocked and cried out her husbands name, but he did not open the door or respond to her cry. The door remained closed and locked.

What a heart wrenching scene, to think that somebody could be that cruel, but the truth is that it happens everyday. People walk out on each other emotionally, physically, spiritually, all of the time. I am not just talking about marriages but families and friendships as well. The thing that was impressed upon my heart the most was the fact that God will never drag us out of His house and lock the door on us. And if you do feel like you are on the outside of God's house then may I encourage you with these scriptures?

Psalm 9:10
Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Luke 11:10

For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
