Yummy!
Jesus promises that our heavenly Father will give us an abundance of Holy Spirit if we just ask for it. Doing this strip gave me that realization. I think this verse has the common misconception that God will give us whatever good things we ask for. He might! But that is not the lesson being taught here.
When a child is hungry they will ask for bread or eggs, or milk or cheese. Some children choose to become cranky and frustrated before they come asking for food. Like those little ones, many of us neglect to come to the Father and ask Him to satisfy our most basic Spiritual hunger. If you just ask He will give you a full plate of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Ask away & Eat up!
