Ask of Me

Asking. It seems a simple thing to do, but how often do we desire enough to really seek an answer?

Sometimes we are too busy to care.
Sometimes we are ashamed of being needy.
Sometimes we are afraid of being turned down.
Sometimes we think we've asked enough already.

There are limits to asking, aren't there? We've been taught that being dependent on others is avoiding our own responsibility. It isn't their job to carry our load, after all. And other people don't have all the answers, either. We all come to the end of our resources at some point... all of us humans, that is.

But there is one who says "Ask" and "Ask largely" and "Ask of Me and I will give..." Do we know that loving heart of generosity? Have we come close enough to see His vision of our need? Do we really desire to receive what He has to offer? Do we care enough for the need to ask, and ask largely?

As the needs for the August meeting in Makindu pile up, let us be asking God for what He has to give. He is not limited. And His vision of the need goes so much farther and deeper than our own.

We see the unfinished building, completed to rafter height and awaiting a roof (which cost seems prohibitive right now).


We see the people, spiritually and physically needy.


And those eager to share truth, yet still so young in their faith and understanding.

In all these needs and burdens, what does our God see? What is possible in Him?
