verses

Matt 5:3..
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God."

Matt 7:7-11
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"

thot these were v interesting verses.. suddenly seemed like i saw them again in new light.. reminded of how God is our Father(Jesus said so too!) and how our Father's heart is to pour out His good gifts to us.. like He just can't wait to bless us with more good things.. if only we ask.. and asking.. also expresses our relationship.. thinking.. its a relationship after all..

also thinking about how God is the King. King of heaven and earth. King over all. and He is a King who rules. and in His grace, He wants us to rule with Him. How amazing.
