If

If you had been living when Christ was on earth
And had met the Saviour kind,
What would you have asked Him to do for you,
Supposing you were stone blind?
A child considered and then replied,
I expect that without a doubt,
I'd ask for a dog with collar and chain,
To lead me daily about.
And how often thus, in faithless prayer,
We acknowledge with shamed surprise.
We have only asked for a dog and chain,
When we might have had - opened eyes. (author unknown)

Sometimes we don't ask God for the greater gifts because we really don't want to receive and thank him. We sometime want to be in a poverty state where we don't think we owe God anything. Pride can manifest itself in many shapes and forms. May you be blessed. Amen.
