Receive His Gift

This is a time of abundance in your life. Your cup runneth over with blessings. After plodding uphill for many weeks, you are now traipsing through lush meadows drenched in warm sunshine. I want you to enjoy to the full this time of ease and refreshment. I delight in providing it for you.

Sometimes My children hesitate to receive My good gifts with open hands. Feelings of false guilt creep in, telling them they don’t deserve to be so richly blessed. This is nonsense-thinking, because no one deserves anything from Me. My kingdom is not about earning and deserving; it’s about believing and receiving.

When a child of Mine balks at accepting My gifts, I am deeply grieved. When you receive My abundant blessings with a grateful heart, I rejoice. My pleasure in giving and your pleasure in receiving flow together in joyous harmony.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.- PSALM 23:5

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”- JOHN 3:16

“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”- LUKE 11:9–10 

He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?- ROMANS 8:32

God wants us to accept his gifts. We must come with a grateful heart and receive with open hands. It is hard for us sometimes to think that something is given to us, as we approach a season of giving. However, God wants to make sure that we receive His gift from our hard work too.

A lot of time we can feel guilty from receiving and turn away. It is common for us with a Christian heart to be blessed with a giving heart, but we must also allow God to bless our lives.

This gift does not have to be tangible. God could be granting us a gift of silence or a day of work. God could be giving us love and family. What ever it is, open your heart and look towards, God praising Him for what He has provided you today.
