ASKING, SEEKING, KNOCKING

From the February 1890 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."— Matt. vii. 7, 8.

If one is seeking for Light, light is ever at hand; but those seeking the origin of evil, never find it, since its existence is fabulous, having no place in the one source of all existence, Spirit.

God, Good is All, and that which He has made is good; then why shall we ask, or seek or knock? If we have all there is—why pray for or desire more? Do you fully believe that you have all? can you realize this? Yes? then there is no reason for asking, seeking or knocking. Mortals, however, who have not this realization, in order to obtain it, must first desire or ask for it.
