ASK YOU SHALL RECEIVE
"Ask and it will be
given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
(Matthew 7:7)” is not an empty phrase. It is really meaningful. According to
the Law of Attraction, the universe is unlimited. There can never be a lack of
anything that we want if we follow the Law of Attraction. There is more than
enough to go around and it is unnecessary to take what others may have. The Law
of Attraction dictates that everything is possible.
There are two reasons for our
not getting what we have asked for. First is we are vague in our desires. Most
of us only have a vague and misty concept of what we want. If we can't get clear
about what we want and why we want it, then we are like a person in a
restaurant who keeps waffling between menu items, never able to come to a
decision. Until we place an order, the waiter can't bring us our food. Until we
get clarity and until our desire is intense nothing will come out of it.
The second is, we don’t act
upon it. If the desire is intense we will definitely do necessary things to
make the desire fulfilled. If we don’t act we will not receive. It is simple. If
we have no real intention of acting, then why bother asking? Acting doesn't
always mean some huge undertaking. Usually it's just a small incremental
change. It is listening to the little
gut feelings, the still small voice that tells us to do this or that. If we
keep on acting, we will surely receive the blessings we seek.
The idea is nicely explained in
the little poem by Jessie B. Rittenhouse -
”I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty
store;
For Life is a just employer,
And gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the
wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed
That any wage I had asked of
Life,
Life would have willingly
paid.”
