Can you guess which words I'm thinking of? No, it's not I LOVE YOU. These 3 words come from my kids, namely, Samuel.
Mommy, I'm hungry.
I don't know what it is about those words, but inwardly I am compelled to give him (and often Alabaster is included just because she wants to eat) something. It is as if something in me leaps to respond to this. I can be busy doing 5 different things at once, but when he says this, I am usually quick to respond. The simple request offered in faith/hope that mommy will give him something good (and hopefully tasty) to eat...
I can only imagine what this is like for God, our heavenly Father. I see through my own experience with Samuel that God doesn't require us to have everything in our lives perfect before he will answer when we ask in faith or make us jump through religious hoops so that we will be healed. He won't give me a stone when I ask for bread. If I can respond in this way to my son when he asks, how much more does God do that?
