In this chapter where the girl reaches out for help, to touch Jesus's clothing and the other where he raised someone from the 'sleep'

There is a Important factor that often gets overlooked and not told about n that is

A Person Must Ask ,In Order To Receive, miracles from the Holy

that includes Asking for forgiveness,or Asking for the Gift of Heaven or whatevr, it has to be asked for and or pursued

a person can't pull up to a drive thru window n not say anything,or go to a restaurant and not say anything

its a Blessing to get what you ask for and asking is the only way to get it

as the ol saying goes the wheel that squeaks gets the grease

God Bless ya too,much appreciated

Hi Jaz,yes,im not in no way saying that any gift from God has to be asked for, i totally understand his Blessing are on the face of the earth over Evrything,including plants animals and All.....100%, He's a Awesome mysterious God

have learned thru personal experience when it comes to things out of extra ordinanary,when a person is in some kind of trouble knowing or not,that person needs to ask for help on there own accord,and not to expect help with out asking. again im not claiming that God wont help anyone knowing or not,with out asking. thats just a General Rule. that ive experinced to be true

but as mentioned primarily, when it comes to forgiveness or obtaining the Gift of Heaven those were the two main focal points

the Gift of Heaven is a Enormous Gift and if someone cant bring themselves to at least ask for or pursue it then good luck to em

but Appreciate your response had a feeling that was going to be taken like that by someone,,, ha

have a good one

Dear Brother , with respect I would have to disagree with you on this subject . There are many people in this world who are receiving blessings from God and they don't even know it or Him and yet He is at work in everyone's lives , being kind and generous to the ungrateful and unbelieving . Also , remember the widow of Nain ? There is no mention of her asking for her son to be given back to her alive . Jesus seems to have taken it upon himself , moved with compassion for this lady , to give her her son back alive and well .

I'm sure we all know many atheists who seem to lead charmed lives , everything just seems to fall into place for them . I'm glad for them because if all they have are the things of this life then let them enjoy this life . As Jesus says , they have their rewards in this life , we Christians are looking forward to something beyond the physical . Our rewards are on the way but are not to do with this world . May God bless us all and keep our eyes and hearts attuned to the real riches , treasures in heaven , soon to be on earth .
