Luke 11:9-10
"So I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who seeks finds; and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened."
And here are the words in that beautiful Gullah language that I love to read, hear, and dream about:
"A da tell oona say, aks God and e gwine gii ya wa ya aks fa. Look ta God, an ya gwine find wasoneba ya da look fa. Knock ta God door, an e gwine open um ta ya. Cause de poson wa aks, God gwine gim wa e aks fa. De poson wa look ta God, e gwine find wasoneba ya da look fa. An de poson wa knock ta God door, God Gwine open de door ta um."
Amen and alleluia! Praise God.
I really enjoy reading the passages you post in the Gullah language. There's something about it that stirs my mind and spirit. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI believe "ask and you shall receive" is absolutely true in spiritual matters, and sometimes true in material ones. But we also must help others (which I know you do a lot) because sometimes we are the vehicle for someone else receiving what they need.
Yes, the Gullah language is gorgeous. It really moves me.
ReplyDeleteYes, I believe I have helped others in the past and I'll continue to look for ways to do so in the future. But right now, I need all the help I can get and God is the one I'm asking to help me.

I have no doubt that God will, and is already helping you.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, my dear.
