Ask for what you need

"Ask, and it shall be given to you, seek, and you shall find, knock, and it shall be opened to you. For he who asks, receives, he who seeks, finds, and to him who knocks, it shall be opened. (Matt. 7:7-8)

God knows our every need before we tell Him, but He still wants us to ask Him for what we need and desire. God will always take care of your needs.

My Savior, My God

I find this song very inspirational and a great reminder of God's love for each and every one of His children!

Aaron Shust - My Savior My GodFrom the album Anything Worth Saying
I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at His right hand
Stands one who is my Savior I take Him at His word and deed

Christ died to save me; this I readAnd in my heart I find a needOf Him to be my savior
That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

Chorus (2x’s) My Savior loves, My Savior lives
My Savior’s always there for me
My God: He was, my God; He isMy God is always gonna be

Yes, living, dying, let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring;
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Savior

That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

Chorus (2x’s) (Instrumental)

Chorus: (2x’s)

My Savior loves, My Savior lives
My Savior loves, My Savior lives

Forgiveness

"For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not fogive your sins." (Mathew 6: 14).

It is important that we learn how to forgive our brothers and sisters in Christ, as the Lord forgives us. In the gospel, one of Jeses' desciples asks him how many times he should forgive his brother. He suggests "seven times?", but Jesus answers, "not seven times, but seven times seventy".

It may be easy to forgive a friend for "standing you up" once. It may be easy to forgive your significant other when he or she occassionally does something you don't appreciate or like. But, how many of us can forgive something bigger like an affair? Someone who raped you? Someone who told a lie that changed your entire life?

Sometimes it's very difficult to forgive big sins, but if we want to be forgiven for all of our sins, we need to learn how to forgive others as God has commanded us.
