This post is directed to children of all ages…

Jesus said something like this: how many of you have parents that give you pretty much everything you need? If you ask for food, they give you food, and not a rock, or dirt. If you need clothes, they buy you clothes; they don’t want you to be cold or to wear clothes that don’t look good. If you want to have some fun on a sunny Sunday, they might take you to a park or something like that. If you like football, perhaps your dad can take you to a nice football game.

I can think of examples from my parents, and I’m sure you can think of examples from yours, and the list will go on and on. Now, if our parents, that are not perfect AT ALL, do these nice stuff to us, and usually give us what we need when we ask, how much more will God give us all his good gifts and everything we need?

Maybe what you want is something big like a new house… or maybe it’s only a new game that you want to have. Maybe things are not working very well at school, your friends are not being nice and picking on you because you are a Christian and love Jesus. Perhaps you are sick and need some healing, or you need help with your homework or exam that is too hard. Maybe the things at home are not going very well, mum and dad are fighting and you are sad because you are not sure about what is going on. Maybe you don’t even have a mum or dad, or maybe they don’t live together anymore. Perhaps you couldn’t sleep last night because you were scared that a big snake would attack you and kill you during the night (and I felt many times like that when I was 10 y.o.).

I doesn’t matter what exactly you need or what kind of stuff you want God to give to you. It can be big or small, easy or very hard; as Jesus said, if your parents know how to give you good things, how much more will our Daddy give us good gifts, if we ASK Him.

Even though God knows everything, the key here is to ASK! Have you asked Daddy today for what you need? Have you told Him about your day and your difficuties? Don’t miss the opportunity… Ask Daddy…
