Greetings to all, on this "grateful Thursday, let us thank God for all the generous blessings this week. May each of our hearts reflect and overflow with God's abundant love and blessings. May they flow through to all those we encounter. Amen
We serve the Mighty God who gives us generously good things without finding fault. Whether it's help getting through painful, unfulfilling, and challenging things in life, God desires to help us.
Many people feel that there is no use in asking God for what we want because He will provide you with only what He wants to.
I beg the difference; He gives us what is best for us. He awaits with pleasure for us to ask what we want, then He gives us more than what we can ask or imagine.
Romans 8:32 (NRSV)
32 He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else?
Matthew 7:9-11 (NIV)
9 "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
Lesson: God is listening, and He is generous, so ask Him for what you want and do not put limits on Him.
We can always anticipate the best from God, and He will always give us more than we ask. It's like Him giving us a blank check.
