"For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened."
As we do business we have to consider protocols.
Especially if we do business internationally we need to be astutely aware of
protocols. From experience it is easy to
mess up and offend, when it seemed such an innocent or accepted in our culture
word or action. There is a reason why
there are people who make a living as protocol experts. Even within our own
companies there are protocols that we follow and unless someone tells us what
they are, new hires runs the risk of making missteps that can be career
damaging or worse. The unspoken protocols can be even more powerful than those
that are written down and shared. Sites
like Glassdoor.com (where I am on the Board) are great for these unspoken
protocols in a business. In today’s day and age when career mistakes can have
long-lasting impact, we want to be sure that we are doing all that we can to at
least understand these protocols.
So, let’s make it really simple. God doesn’t mess around
with a bunch of unspoken protocols for our access to him. And, his protocol with us is even clearer, he
doesn’t butt in and try and force his way into our lives. He instead just opens Himself up to us at all
times and says, “Come to me all…”. No
politics, no positioning, no protocols necessary in God’s Kingdom. Just acceptance, love and forgiveness. What and where does it get any better than in
His Kingdom?
