Ellen in Paraguay

I meant to title the last entry “ask and it will be given to you.” I think this verse is just as well-known and oft-quoted in North America, but the people here probably have a lot better understanding of it and take it more seriously. I have to admit I don’t know if the “unconstrained generosity” is a phenomenon of the Paraguayan culture in general or just among the church people, but since they themselves give freely, they see this same character trait in God. It is obvious in the way they speak and pray that when they ask something of God, they expect to get it, no matter how outrageous the request may seem to me. They have no fear in asking, and have complete confidence that God will give the very best, because that is also what they would do.
