Matthew 7:7-11 Why Involve Me?

Company can be fun or maybe you were company to someone else.  Visiting or being visited especially during holidays is something we enjoy and yet we are glad to have the house back to our selves. Then there are people who live near family and are in constant connection to them. Family is not something you visit but something you are immersed in, it’s part of you and your life. Where does God fit into all of this? Is Jesus someone you visit once a week or every now and again? Or is Jesus a part of you someone you are immersed in? What does He want to be?
