MORE AND MORE!

1 Peter 1:2 God the Father knew you and chose you long ago, and his Spirit has made you holy…. May God give you more and more grace and peace.

We probably all know the Charles Dickens story where the character Oliver Twist asked for more soup and caused an uproar in the orphanage where he lived. Asking for more was unheard of, unacceptable! When we come to God though, we’re His beloved children, adopted into His family where we’re allowed to ask for more.😊

Hebrews 4:16 NKJV Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

We know God’s kingdom is run by faith, and everything in it is available to us through His great grace. Our part is to receive all He provides and not doubt it, or think we’re not worthy of it, or reject it just because we were taught not to ask for more!

We were chosen by God before the world was made, not to be paupers like Oliver Twist, but to be sons and daughters of the Most High God. He has qualified us to receive everything Jesus died for us to have which includes not only forgiveness and a home in heaven, but every other physical, spiritual, emotional, financial or social thing we will ever need. It’s already bought and paid for by Jesus.

So do we need more of God’s grace and favour in our lives, more peace in our life situations?  The truth is, we all do, and the good news is that God wants us to have them.😊 

As we launch into another week let’s do as He says, and ask for what we need, whether it’s more and more grace and peace, more joy, more energy, more finances, or more health. Or do we need a friend, more confidence, more wisdom, more of Jesus Himself? Whatever our need is today, Jesus told us to ask - so let’s reach out and ask - and receive it by faith! In Jesus name. Amen.   

Have a more and more blessed week.x😊
