Ask and you will receive!

Ask and you will receive!

It’s a verse taken from the Gospel of Mathew. A pagan friend of mine lost his dearest sister when she was just eight year old he came to me barking and telling me that you Christian preach the words of God and proclaim to many of us in the village that whoever asks what he or she needs will receive. But look at our family, at my parents we prayed to God to help and cure my sister, but nothing turned up to be better.  I was quite and just did not know what to say for at that very moment it is not so easy to talk about the resurrection of the incarnate spirit.

When I reflect at that scene that happened years ago, I feel that what we are reading and what we are preaching makes no sense without having a strong faith on that very word itself “ask and you will receive.” It will therefore bear fruit if and only if we ask and seek with strong eady and will be ready to be a teacher in my life.
