"Ask, (just ask?!) and you shall receive..." Is that really true? I mean, come on, I've asked for stuff before and never got it. How can Jesus say something so ridiculous? Is he just exaggerating? Augustine says, when we ask, we gotta ask intelligently... He gives us 3 reasons why we ask and don't receive.
1) We ask for bad things.
2) we ask in a bad way.
3) We are bad.
Solution? Be good (aka generous), use the good you have to make other people's lives better. Ask for good things, that is things that are going to help you to love even more. Ask in a good way, that is with humility and gratitude. Ask and you shall receive... IF you ask intelligently.
God bless,
Live from your heart,
