GOD DOES GREAT THINGS FOR THOSE WHO ASK

GREAT THINGS OF HIM

Once there was a soldier under the command of Alexander the Great who had performed a heroic deed. Alexander wished to reward him for his valor, so he asked the soldier, "What would you like to have from me?" The soldier made a stupendous request, and Alexander's men said to the great general, "The request of this soldier is beyond what he ought to ask." Alexander the Great replied, "But it is not beyond what Alexander the Great can give." We who believe may easily overstep the bounds of what we deserve when we call upon God in prayer, because we deserve nothing; but we cannot overstep the bounds of God's grace and power, because he knows no limitations. God does great things for those who ask great things of him; and he invites us to do so.
