The recent commercials sponsored by Credit Karma suggest that getting a free credit score empowers individuals with boldness. Thus, whether you are buying a car or house, you should always ask for more. Perhaps the meek have a bargaining chip, yet reality is a far cry from Hollywood.
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you, ” Matthew 7:7.
Boldness can be manifested within Type A personalities, conceived through desperation or develop overtime through confidence. In the case of a criminal, hanging on a cross next to Jesus, it didn’t take long to realize He was different. Whether it was listening to nearby conversations or something inside his heart, a sense of urgency grew. When the time presented itself, this unworthy soul asked for forgiveness and a place in paradise.
For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened, Matthew 7:8.
One of the areas where I am not bold enough is when I pray. During a discussion with followers prior to his death, Jesus unveiled a secret about prayer. “You don’t have because you haven’t asked!” This dilemma applies to many who are currently experiencing a life without much joy. Therefore, if you want to make a bold request, approach God’s throne of grace with an expecting heart, believing that you too will experience paradise.
