As
a child of the Most High God, God wants you to know the things that have been
freely given to you. He wants you to receive them freely although it cost Him
His Son. He paid the price, but He wants you to receive the blessings freely.
That is His love toward you.
Perhaps
you are asking God, “How is it that I don’t have this blessing? And why do I
have so little of that?”
I
believe that He is saying this to you: “What do you lack, My child? Health?
Take it! It has been paid for with the life of My Son.
“Do
you need peace of mind? My Son wore the crown of thorns on His head to give it
to you. Take it!
“Lack
wisdom? Take My wisdom!
“Need
victory? Victory is not something you attain. It is a gift to be received. Take
it!
“Take
My provision! Take My favor! Every time you come into My Presence, take, and
take some more!”
God,
your heavenly Father, wants you to receive like the prodigal son, who deserved
nothing, but received everything (see Luke 15:11–24). God delights in giving
freely. And He delights in you receiving freely because it shows that you value
and appreciate His Son’s sacrifice.
You
miss it when you are busy trying to earn what has been freely given to you,
when you think that you must do more for God to bless you, or that you must pay
the price for it. God cannot give it to you based on your works because if it
is by works, it is no longer by grace. When you try to work for it, you
frustrate the grace of God and make light of Jesus’ work at Calvary.
My friend, the days of trying, striving and earning are over. The days of take, take and take more have come. Take and you will bring pleasure to God’s heart! (Article & Picture; courtesy of Joseph Prince Ministries used with kind permission).
