Scriptural Thought for the Day: John 3:16 - 21 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

God's love for all mankind is unmeasurable. We have to ask ourselves if we really believe (trust in, cling to, and rely on) the Lord. If people trust the Lord like they say they do, why is it so hard for them to live and do what is right? It is plain and simple, humans would rather trust in other humans rather than in God. If only we would realize that God's Word is true, and has been since the beginning of time. His Word is unchanging but has the power to change the lives of those that show and demonstrate slightest amount of faith in Him. Man's laws and rules are subject to change based on popularity amongst the masses, but God is the same yesterday, today and forever more. Let us all therefore strive to please God with the lives we live for Him.

St. Luke 11:5-13 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? 7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. 8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. 9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Of if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy spirit to them that ask him?

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK HIM! There is something about HUMILITY. The question becomes: Do you really want the Holy Spirit in your life? People ask for their own conveniences. Their agenda is to be blessed with this and that, and to "receive the desires of their heart". God gives us the Holy Spirit in our lives to SET the agenda. His agenda is HOLY LIVING.

ASK.
