Acts 18:23-28 / John 16:23-28
We might think that if things go our way, life would be easy and we would be happy.
That would, of course, be very nice to imagine, that everything would be as we wanted it to be.
But we know that such is not the case, and it won’t ever be the case.
When we reflect and think deeper about it, if everyone has it their way, this world would be chaotic.
Because everyone has a personal opinion and wants things his way.
In the gospel, Jesus says this: I tell you most solemnly, anything you ask for from the Father, he will grant you.
That might sound too good to be true, but we also know that not everything that we asked God for was granted to us.
God will give us what is good for us because He loves us.
And if we love God, then we should ask Him to give us what is good for us, as well as what is good for others.
Let us pray that we will always love God and know what His will is for us.
When we are united in the love of God, then we will do things His way, and not want to have it our way.
