Jesus bids us “ask and receive” that our “joy may be full.” We obey His command in asking, but we do not throw open our souls that we may receive. God’s word to us is, “Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it” (Psa. 81:10), yet we do not pause in our cries of hunger to accept what is so freely offered.
-- Carrie Judd Montgomery, legendary early missionary and evangelist of The Christian and Missionary Alliance and The Assemblies of God
