KNOCK

KNOCK

A young chap once came to the door at a family friend's house, he had always been carried by his mother whenever they come around, but this time, his mother had let him go ahead while she had a chat with another friend outside. It was the first time this chap had gotten to that door alone. He wanted to open the door like his mother would always do, but he forgot something that his mother would first do before opening the door.

He was there for so long until his mother came and met him at the door, while he struggled to open it. His mother did what she always does and opened the door. The young chap was surprised. The next time the same scenario played out, the boy was at the door and wanted to open the door to no success. He then remembered what his mother would always do: KNOCK.

He knocked, and the door did not open, but seeing that he had no other options, he continued knocking until someone from within the house came to open the door. Sometimes, the door to our next level is not locked, but we may not understand how to turn it open. At times, we may not be tall enough to reach the handles, but we cannot be too short to KNOCK the door until we get it opened.

We may be qualified enough to get into some places, but the door to those places cannot be open from outside, we may need someone who has gone in, or someone who knows how well to open these doors help us through it, but how do we get them to help us? We KNOCK. Consistent, fervent knocking will provoke responses to any closed door, keep knocking.
