Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Matthew 7:9

Today you are invited to consider how you feel when someone asks you for something.  What happens inside you?  How much grace is there in your response?  What happens when you feel resentful at the request?  What happens when it is someone you love deeply?  How does your response vary from person to person? How do you think God feels about your reaction?  How does God respond to you?  Does considering God’s response encourage you to respond in a different way to some requests?

May God bless you as you hear other people’s needs today and respond in the way He guides you to do.
