Ask

The good book has some really great phrases and quotes we can apply in our day to day life (just as it was intended I presume) but a lot of these folks have spiritualized everything. It has to be about God. But I tend to think not all of it is about Him. He’s not as selfish as some religious leader tend to portray Him. He cares about us too. He loves us.

Let us look at this verse that says ‘ask and it shall be given.’ It doesn’t specify what so that leaves a blank cheque for you to sign your amount. But some people short change themselves and then get mad when others serve themselves plenty. Anyway let me get this judge’s cloak off and be sensible for a moment.

 You get what you ask for.

If you don’t ask for it, you’ll never get it. Advocate for yourself, or you’ll never get what you want, much less what you deserve. The world gives graciously to the bold, but a closed mouth doesn’t get fed. If you want of mvunguni you must bend.

Have you been in a relationship were you felt that the other party didn’t understand you? Well, if not just flow with it. Most of the cases and times feelings of unrequited love and affection stem from unexpressed desire. We sit down feeling cold and expect the other person to notice that we are freezing. And as much as it may sound cute if they did, I feel like it is our responsibility to say could you kindly help me with a jacket? And be straightforward while at it (ladies you tend to be vague here so take note)

Therefore, like the good book advocates, let us learn to speak up, to say where we are uncomfortable, where we could use a hand, where we feel we are not being loved right, were we feel others are not living or doing something to our expectations. Mathew goes ahead and guarantees that if you ask you will receive. But I am not Mathew. All I do is run a blog and I cannot guarantee that your demands or requirements will be met that fight pick with the author. But what I can guarantee you is this, YOU WILL BE HEARD! You will have expressed yourself. You will have spoken your mind. You will live free. You will not have words choking you as you speak. There is something about expressing ourselves. A freedom. A letting go. Let us learn to embrace and make it a habit.
