All God's Children-10/2008
I have learned through a daily prayer journal that God is faithful in answering prayers our prayers. We don't have to be perfect, we just have to come daily and drink from the living well that never runs dry. His word says if you abide in him and his words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and he will give it to you. He says to ask and receive that your joy might be full! John 16:23-24.
Have you accepted Christ into your heart? Are you asking? I encourage you today to take him at his word. You can have a relationship with God based on accepting him into your life. He says in his word that it will not return void. Are you asking for anything?
I recently sent some money to a nursing home in India to be used for the seniors there. What struck me as odd though is that they do not think to ask for anything above their basic needs and I do mean needs! The request came back for a jar of vaseline vicks rub and a bottle of energy drink. They do not even think to ask for something nice! Are we like that with God? Do we dare ask for the desires of our heart? If he is a loving parent that he says he is, that made us and knit us in our parent's womb, then why are we not asking? He desires to give us his best!
I encourage you this day to start a prayer journal and come as you are! Start asking and believing, and see if God doesn't show himself real to you each day!
