What Are You Looking For?

Every good gift comes down from above......wisdom, truth, justice, holiness, goodness, joy, peace.....

If we knew the Gift of God, we would ask....but not knowing means we strive on our own to attain what can only be received from above.  And these things He freely gives to those who love Him.  Let us not hesitate to ask for what we need.

If we need joy, and ask for it, we open ourselves to the gift we cannot give ourselves.  More than that, we trust that if we ask, we will receive.  And trust in God will never disappoint us.  Didn't Jesus say, "If you ask your father for a fish, will he give you a snake?  (looks like the eel eaten in His culture, but isn't).  And if you ask for a loaf, will he give you a stone?" (looks like bread, but isn't).

And if we know how to give good gifts to our children, how much more our heavenly Father knows how to give the Spirit to those who ask.   TRUST HIM.
