Sounds like Jesus wants to get our attention. Who wouldn’t want every request granted simply by asking? He makes this promise after explaining the importance of life on the vine. Connected to the source of all life, we will be fruitful and flourish. The Word of God remains in us as long as we remain connected to the life-giving vine. Wisdom speaks within us that we may know what God has in mind for our benefit. Naturally, then, all that we desire will be done for us through God’s great love and mercy. We ask and we receive. Have you asked for what you want and not received it? I have. The story of the vine and branches reminds me to reconsider my growth on the vine. How can I focus more on God’s love and Wisdom?
