Mt 7:7-12
[Jesus said to his disciples,] 7“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 9Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread, 10or a snake when he asks for a fish? 11If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.
12“Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.”
Ask and it will be given to you. The greatest of all sins is to lose hope. The laziest act is to stop dreaming. The greatest loss is to give up on faith. We have a God who promised to be with us always, to give if we ask, and to find him if we seek him. That is why Jesus says we have not only a God but a Father who gives good things to those who ask him.
If we have not yet received, perhaps we have not really asked the Father yet, knocked hard enough, or sought with all our hearts. Have we lost hope and faith in our Father in heaven?
We need only hope, dream, seek, and take a step…
