Luke 11: 5-10
And he said to them, 'Suppose one of you has a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say to him, "Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; for a friend of mine has arrived, and I have nothing to set before him." And he answers from within, "Do not bother me; the door had already been locked, and my children are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything." I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, at least because of his persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs.
'So I say to you, Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone you asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
Knock and keep knocking. God is relentless with us. Be relentless with God.

We keep messing up as humans. I thought following the law was what God had called me to do, and when I failed at that, I thought I was so far from God that I didn't deserve to be near Him. I had so wronged God that I should be punished- I knew better and did it anyway! BUT, that says that my sin is bigger than God. NOT TRUE! That says that I'm better at being bad, that my bad is mightier than God's GOOD. NOT TRUE! God's GRACE is GREATER than my sin!
