5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6 a“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.  

Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking

7 a“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.  
8 For aeveryone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.  
9 aOr what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?  
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If you then, abeing evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!  
12 Therefore, awhatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for bthis is the Law and the Prophets.

Matthew 7:7-11

It is constant earnest praying which keeps faith alive and makes certain the receiving of every one of the qualities which make us in the image of God. Do you know how I can say that? Because God says He is more willing to give us of His Spirit than we are to give good gifts to our children. Let us turn to that place back in Matthew 7. Jesus said,

If there is faith and we are seeking God, in seeking God we begin to find out what His qualities are. He is not just a Being of power, He is the Being of consummate love, mercy, sympathy, kindness, generosity, control, goodness—every good quality that we can think of, He has in super abundance, and it is His very intent to give these things to us. He is a Creator and He builds them within us by means of His Spirit working in the experiences of our lives. As we begin to find out what His qualities are and we ask Him for those qualities, He will give them. It is a request that is according to His will.
