Is it ok to ask for what you want without feeling guilty? Yes, if you understand the Law of Receptivity: Whatever I give out graciously, comes back to me multiplied. Usually guilt crops up if we’ve been afraid to give because we believe there’s not enough. Then we are hesitant to ask or even receive our good because we’ve already been stingy and fearful and holding back with our giving.

Practice giving a compliment, a card, an email, a phone call. Then work your way up to  taking someone to coffee or practicing an act of kindness. Stretch your giving genes and open the space to receive. God has plenty to give when you are ready to receive. Praise God!
