/*And anything you desire from me, I will do for you. -- 2 Samuel 19:38*/

What a rash promise! King David is rewarding the aged Barzillai for his 
assistance when David fled from his rebel son Absalom, and he hands him, 
in essence, a blank check.

But Jesus offers his disciples the same thing. He says, "My Father will 
give you whatever you ask in My name."

God seems to be saying, "You come up with the desire, and I will grant it."

How reckless!

Yet, He doesn't make the offer to just anybody. David and Jesus make the 
offer to those who shared risk and hardship, to those with loyalty 
larger than life. David spells out God's parameters in Psalm 37:4: 
"Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your 
heart."

For those who delight in God, the message from God remains: "You come up 
with the desire, and I will grant it."

Be encouraged!
