And this is the time of mercy! Oh how we hold on to so much because we don’t know what kind of God He is and what time it is. If we knew, we would ask. We wouldn’t carry around our needs as if asking Him was some kind of burden or inconvenience to Him. We wouldn’t avoid asking Him because deep in our hearts we don’t feel we deserve it or that others need it more. We don’t ask because we don’t understand who He is. You cannot ask more than what He is able to give. When God gives to you, it does not mean he can’t give that same thing to others. How many loaves and fish were there? How many ate that day? If we know Him, we will ask Him.
