If ye, then, being human and evil, "know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?" Luke 11:13. The Holy Spirit, the representative of Himself, is the greatest of all gifts. All "good things" are comprised in this. The Creator Himself can give us nothing greater, nothing better. When we beseech the Lord to pity us in our distress, and to guide us by His Holy Spirit, He will never turn away our prayer. It is possible even for a parent to turn away from his hungry child, but God can never reject the cry of the needy and longing heart. With what wonderful tenderness He has described 133 His love! To those who in days of darkness feel that God is unmindful of them, this is the message from the Father's heart: "Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands." Isaiah 49:14-16.

Hvis nu I, som er menneskelige og onde »ved at give jeres børn gode gaver, hvor meget mere skal da Faderen fra himmelen give Helligånden til dem, som beder ham?« Den Helligånd, Guds egen repræsentant, er den største af alle gaver. Den indbefatter alle gøder. Selv Skaberen kan ikke give os noget større, noget bedre. Når vi beder Herren om at have medynk med os i vor nød og vejlede os ved sin Helligånd, vil han aldrig afvise vor bøn. Det er muligt endog for en far eller en mor at afvise sit sultne barn, men Gud kan aldrig afslå det trængende og længselsfulde hjertes råb. Med hvilken vidunderlig ømhed har han ikke skildret sin kærlighed! Til dem, der i mørke dage synes, at Gud ikke agter på dem, lyder dette budskab fra Faderens hjerte: Zion siger: »Herren har svigtet mig, Herren har glemt mig! Glemmer en kvinde sit diende barn, en moder, hvad hun bar under hjerte? Ja, selv om de kunne glemme, jeg glemmer ej dig. Se, i mine hænder har jeg tegnet dig.« (Luk. 11,13; Es. 49,14-16).
