Lesson 77
Meet Jesus : Positive Answers

Matthew 7:
7: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9: Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10: Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11: If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Ever feared you would get a no from someone? Fear of rejection is a strong influencer on us. Psychologists and communications trainers will quickly tell you that people fear to speak in public, to a group. Rejection is not something Jesus will do. When we come to Him and His Father, there is never rejection. He took our rejection for all time and offers us pure acceptance. Ask and it will be give to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and it shall be opened unto you. Jesus is an open door.

ACT!
Think of a question from someone on which you have put off the answer. Get the answer for them quickly and get it to them. Help them past a little thought of rejection.

PRAY!
Father, I am so blessed to be in You. You are an encourager, blessor, giver, and always positive influence in my life. My life in You is pleasant beyond imagination. Thank You, Father for being a positive answer to life's tough questions.
