Matthew 7: 9-11

Summary

  The Lord God is giving and merciful, as we all know- more giving and merciful than anyone else. So imagine how caring He would be if even the evilest of people still have the slightest room in their darkness to care and give to others. For there are people in this world who do good and give well, though may not always deliberately, so those who ask evil people for favours and receive those favours, our God in Heaven, creator of this Earth, shall give twice as much, for he is the most caring and most willing to give to people who are willing to ask him.

What Jesus meant

   As Jesus spoke this parable, he meant by his words that our Lord God is very giving and loving.  He was describing how the evilest of people would show even the tiniest bit of love and sympathy, and give gifts that would be considered amazing to some people, maybe not intentionally but still good gifts, and how God would reward such gifts to anyone who asks him. But possibly in order to receive such marvelous gifts, one must follow the Lord's will. As well, He is telling us that the Lord is very caring of everyone- we mustn't doubt him, not even once. So Jesus' parable may really lead up to the meaning that God will reward all of us with blessings and gifts as we ask Him through prayer, but under the extremely fair condition that we should follow His  Ten Commandments.

Prayer

    Lord God, help us to be most grateful for all that you have given us, and to realize just how giving and merciful you are. Help us never to doubt you- to believe that you don't care. And help us, always, to stay away from all evil temptations that we will ever experience- and to care for all others, as you care for us.

    Amen.
