Today i asked a friend for a favour and he said yes even before i was done asking! Yet i spent two days pondering on how i would handle the situation, many times my pride never allows me to ask of any thing(Even asking God was tough!).
On Monday i had lunch with a good friend and because my card had been retained by the ATM(yes my banking woes), i had to go to the bank to retrieve it, only reaching the bank the line was for WORLD! I had the equivalent of ten dollars in my wallet, i turned and went straight to work.
That evening got invited to dinner by my girlfriends(Indian is not ten dollars lol) On admitting my woes, they offered to house me(usually i would rather not go) but i am learning to accepting love or kind gestures.
The thing is i am a giver(so i have been told) but accepting any thing is tough.
I am learning to ask and receive the Bible states clearly:
1 Kings 3:5-13: Not only did Solomon ask but he asked wisely
Zechariah 10:1: What drought are you facing in your life? Simply ask the Lord.
Matthew 7:7-11: One of my greatest struggles as a Christian is i feel i am burdening God by over asking but this verse reminds me that he is cool with it not matter how many times i ask.
Matthew 21:22: Believing is another thing i am struggling with(today i asked not expecting anything but i was pleasantly surprised)
James 1:5: When it rains it pours.
1 John 5:14-15: Many times we ask selfishly but remember all things work for the good of those who love him.
*Side note* Today i went to the mall and good Lord valentine is here! I had totally forgotten. Best part is this year i have a date!
Happy new Month may you love and accept love in return.
Life at it's best
