Matthew 7: 7-12
7"Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! 12So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
What touched my Soul
This is a very interesting reading from Matthew.
If you remember well one of the readings this week touched my soul in a way that my toughts were driven to listening to God while praying. The silence and listening is very important in our relation with our Lord,
Today's reading from Matthew touches my soul in a different but similar way;
“If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!”
What a beautiful comparison.
How could God not do the best for us, His children.
If we humans being sinners and evil do the best for our children, how can God that is love not always do the best for us.
Sometimes the children do not understand their father's decisions and sometimes children get upset. Sometimes they step away and hide from their father's. Sometimes stop talking and listen and even offend them.
But when the children approach their father with love and repent gestures the father will receive them with open harms, always.
In this Lent let’s ask Lord, our Father, to forgive our wrong behaviours, our rebelions, our faults, our disobediences. Ask our Father for forgiveness to the faults we commit even without noticing to our bothers and sisters.
”Lord I do believe, help my unbelieve” .
Jesus tells us ”Ask, and it will be given you;”
“Lord I do believe, help my unbelieve”
