Asking and Receiving

​A man had a particular “spiritual” problem, so he thought the best person to go to and get answers was his pastor.


He went and asked, and his pastor was quick with a response; though, maybe not the one he was expecting.

“Did you ask yourself first?”

A little confused, he gave a response.

“Well, I was confused about my situation, so I wanted a clear answer. I don’t know how I would answer my own question though?”

“Since you have your problem that you want solve, how would it be possible for anyone else but you to solve the issue that you have created?”
