SATURDAY: ASK AND RECEIVE

By Amanda Gore

“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”

John 15:7

Did you ever read a little book called the “Prayer of Jabez”? There was a story in there that really stuck with me.

Someone had died and was being given a tour of heaven by St. Peter. They walked past a large building with no windows and the newcomer asked what it was. St. Peter replied, “You don’t want to know.” The man was insistent though, and finally St. Peter agreed to show him inside. They walked into the building, which was lined with miles of shelves. On these shelves were millions of beautiful white boxes—each tied with a gorgeous red ribbon. The man asked, “What are they?” and St. Peter replied, “They are all the blessings people never asked for while they were on earth!”

There is so much help and support available for us if only we would stop, ask and listen. Blessings come in every form you can imagine. Some of the ways they come “wrapped” include help, intuition, inspiration, friends, warnings, healers, surprises, money, answers to hardships, struggles, trials and great moments of joy.

Ask for all the blessings that should be yours today!

Ask, believe, and you shall receive!
