Ask, and you will recieve'

And a man was before the Lord..' And requested knowledge
This was a pleaesing thing to the Lord..He replied how
Much knowledge do you require.? The man held out a
An empty pitcher.' And said can you pour into this of your
Water as a sign of how much I will recieve? When I study
Your Word.? Immediatly a part of the air became dense to
The point of being water, and began to pour into the vessel.'
Very quickly; it was soon three parts full.' Oh Lord the man said
It will soon be full..And I will not be able to contain the ammount.' Then appeared a large urn big enough for a man
To bathe in.'  pour your pitcher full in there..Advised
A voice from behind him.' So this he did.' As he did so the
Jar he poured from.' Filled the larger urn.' Yet it was soon
Filled again also, once he had placed it down.' Oh Lord said the man can
You please stop the flow.? For I cannot contain or carry this
Ammount.' So it shall be. He was aware of that voice from
Behind again.' When The Lord gives..He does so generosly
Pressed down and overflowing.' That you will be able to
Lessen the load that can be given you.' When you read the
Word of His mouth.' You will be lead into its very depths.' And
You will share with others..That you be not crushed.'
When the man reminiced thinking deeply on the event
He'd had.' Was it a dream? Yet it seemed as had been in bright dayight.' The man foud he was bowed low.' When he rose  he was
Alone.!

The Lord has always been there for me, always supplied what I needed to overflowing...at his time and place, which has not always been at my immediate request. He has always been right in retrospect. God knows best. Allows certain, seemingly negative situations, not to harms us, but enlighten and raise us up. Make us stronger spiritually.
