Have you ever sacrificed for someone only to have them ask for more?
In many ways, that represents mankind's relationship with God.
In Matthew 12:39 and 16:4, Jesus said, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign.”
He was explaining that no matter how many signs and wonders He did, it would never be enough for some people. They would choose to disbelieve no matter what.
Romans 1:18-21 says people who reject God "suppress the truth" and are "without excuse" because evidence of God is everywhere.
But those who listen to truth instead of suppressing it, have these promises:
"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
"If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me." Jeremiah 29:13
If you were a true seeker who found Christ, take a moment to rejoice!
