Ask And You Will Receive

How can you learn beyond your status quo? How can you receive more of your heart's desires? The answer may be as simple as taking the initiative to ask.

The act of asking is as straightforward as ABC. But not asking may be the cause of many of life's troubles and miscommunications leading to misunderstanding and breakdown in relationships. Therefore you and I should seize the gold behind this gift of asking.

The Bible says:
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. (Matthew 7:7 NIV84)

The Bible also says:
For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. (Matthew 7:8 NIV84)

Some examples of practicing asking are:

1. Asking For Directions. Whether you are an introverted or extraverted person, whether lost or even knowing the way, simply asking for directions can save yourself lots of time lost and anguish experienced through the process of finding your way. Unless you are training yourself to explore places and self discovery, asking really do saves.

2. Asking Questions. The pursuit of knowledge and wisdom is most gained through this process of asking questions. Simply asking even a question you thought may be a stupid one can save you in future. You should not be overly concerned that your question may be a common sense request. You never know that that question you asked was the same as many others who hesitated in asking. You have done a good deed for others in retrospect.

3. Asking For Help. There is no bother to others when you request for help in any kind. When in doubt, please ask. Like operating any machinery or meddling a computer, taking this step of asking for help if unsure will save you of unnecessary cost due to damage as well as save the organization of increasing operating cost. Asking for help also allow others to practice charity and apply patience in responding to the questions you ask.

So with the above examples and realizing the numerous practical benefits of practicing asking for directions, asking questions and asking for help, try out for yourself and share your experiences with me. Thanks.
