There are people who feel that they don’t deserve to ask for anything.

That’s why I like the story of Elijah and Elisha.

Next to Moses, Elijah was the greatest Old Testament prophet. Elisha was his disciple, his understudy. Think Robin to Batman.

One day, the great prophet says to his disciple, “Ask what I shall do for you before I be taken away from you.”

I love what Elisha said. He replied, “I pray that I get a double portion of your spirit.”

Wow! What guts. What daring. What boldness!

Sometimes, I imagine if Elisha was Filipino. It would have been a very different scenario, believe me.

Because the Pinoy Elisha would have blushed, chuckled, and with a wave of his hand replied, “Oh, nothing at all. You’ve given me so much already.”

And Elijah would have to cajole him, “Come on, Elisha, tell me. What do you want?”

To which the Pinoy Elisha would reply, “Nothing. Really! Nothing at all.”

Elijah would press some more, until Elisha would say, “OK, just give me a itsy-bitsy little, tiny smudge of your anointing. And I’ll be more than happy!”

This is what I call the “Itsy-Bitsy Spirituality”. And it has many devotees.

It’s very Filipino. But I’m sure that it’s a universal phenomenon too.

We need to learn to ask.

Many times, we don’t ask because we think we don’t deserve to ask.

We don’t feel we deserve a good job.

We don’t feel we deserve a good husband.

We don’t feel we deserve a house.

We don’t feel we deserve healing.

We think that we’re small.

 

Ask!

 

May you dreams come true,
