Come to Me

Matthew 11:28
Come to Me

Our Lord is beckoning for us to come to Him. He is ever-present and ever ready to be the supplier of our needs. Yet if we believe we are capable of handling something ourselves, we are likely to handle it alone. On the other hand we may think it is too good to be true to be able to come to the Lord for everything. However, our Lord Yshua do call us to come to Him and surrender our wills and confidence in ourselves. So when we are busy in the middle of something, it is worthwhile to pause and remember His offer.

Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do

John 14:13
Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do...

As with the other recent passages, it is clear that the thing that God expected us to ask here are not just the things for our own needs. In fact, it mostly deal requests which are in God's will. This is not like God is making us ask what He wants. When the believers mature in Christ, and become more like Him, then their needs are also aligned with that of God's. A few of those needs will be to spread the gospel, to minister and to help those who are in need. For these, God will not hold back.
