And 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 every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
The words, “how much more,” really stand out in this passage. If we ask and receive needed help from earthly parents and often by great personal sacrifice on their part, how much more can we ask and receive help from our heavenly Father. He loves us so much that he sacrificed his only begotten Son to redeem us from sin. In all of our asking, let us first ask our heavenly Father to give us the Holy Spirit and a pure heart.
