If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Luke 11:13 NIV
Though we are evil, wow that is a tough pill to swallow. What this is referring to is the sinful nature of the human heart, mind, flesh. What this verse is saying is that despite our nature, along with past, present, and future sins, our faith and deeds that are good, will be rewarded by God. All we have to do is ask.
To ask, is to pray. Pray earnestly and fervently to God for His grace and tender mercies upon us and our needs. This does not mean we will always get what we want, but our supplications will be heard and answered. Not getting the answer we want doest equate to God ignoring us.
So pray frequently and pour your heart out. Despite our sinful ways, He will pour out blessings upon us, if we ask. Despite our inner evil, He loves us. We, the prodigal, our Father in Heaven wants us to turn from sin and run home to Him. He will meet us and greet us, and never let us go.
Father I pray that You prick the hearts of the people who may read this to cause a change in us all. A change that will force us to rid ourselves of the evil and sin that plagues us, and run away from it until we find you. Lord, guide our every step, thought, and action that we may not stumble along the way. And should we falter, let us get back up and keep running to Jesus.
Amen
