Luke 11: 11-13

"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 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!"

Jesus came and started a revolution. A revolution of crazy love from God in Heaven, as opposed to the do's and don'ts of a distant withholding presence in the sky. Once again, the crowd are gathered around Him. He has just told them that they needed to only ask their sweet, over-generous Father in Heaven for all that is in their hearts. Despite what the religious big wigs of the day preached and scared the people with, Jesus came and told them that, in fact, his Father was a DAD. He was a dad who adored his kids.

If you don't have a good dad here on earth, then maybe watch a good one around you, or give yourself the liberty to dream for a second, and imagine the best possible earthly Father you can. Take what you have imagined and multiply it by about a trillion, and that is how much your Father in heaven adores you and wants more than anything to give you all that you want. Earthly Father's, even the good ones, are lacking in their ability to give and to love and even in their desire to give to their kids. So take a moment and think about all that you need and desire, and ask your Heavenly Father for them. He wants to load you with stuff. You are not fighting Him for your destiny, and for the things you need- He is on your side. Ask Him for things.
