Acts 10:30-33
So Cornelius said, [i]“Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your [j]alms are remembered in the sight of God. 32 Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. [k]When he comes, he will speak to you.’ 33 So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God.”

Cornelius was a genuine seeker of God. He desired God sincerely, did all he learnt from the laws to the best of his ability. He was fasting and praying this day when the angel of the Lord appeared unto him.
Do you know everyone who seeks God with a sincere heart finds Him?
"Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
God clearly rewards our diligence in seeking Him. Many of us haven't had any clear revelation from God before, not to talk of an Angelic visitation. Maybe we need a little more diligence in seeking God, and more concentration on Him. God spoke to Cornelius through His Angel and Cornelius understood the message. When we seek and find God, He gladdens our hearts and He strengthens our spirit man.
That might just be the encouragement we need at this moment;
pray! spend a little time meditating on the word of God, wait to hear Him with full attention and you'll be glad you did.
Prayers: Oh Lord Jesus Christ, help me to desire you totally and genuinely, as I seek you, reveal yourself to me Oh Lord.
Remain blessed
